Leclerc the man to beat, Mercedes going backwards: German GP FP3 Results
Charles Leclerc looks to be the man to beat on Saturday at the German Grand Prix after topping third practice for Ferrari, as Max Verstappen and Sebastian brought a fight that Mercedes were unable to match.
The Silver Arrows changed bodywork on Lewis Hamilton's car in the search for more pace, but it seemed to do little.
When Hamilton did run the new configuration, his time was deleted for exceeding track limits at Turn 17 – something that impacted drivers throughout the field as the FIA look to clamp down at the last and first corners.
Kevin Magnussen went fifth-fastest, just 0.003 seconds short of Valtteri Bottas' Mercedes – mystifying Haas as the Dane had ran 18th in FP2, and nothing had changed on his VF-19.
Track limits are being enforced here, both Vettel and Hamilton have just had times deleted
