Kimi Antonelli was beaten to the top of the timesheets at the Red Bull Ring on Saturday during the final hour of practice at the F1 2026 Austrian Grand Prix.
The championship leader finished top of the order in FP1 and FP2 earlier in the weekend, stunning team-mate George Russell and title rival Lewis Hamilton.
After a strong showing in Barcelona for the Ferrari star, he and team-mate Charles Leclerc appeared off the pace in Spielberg on Friday.
But the seven-time champion showed on Saturday that the Scuderia's engine upgrades could make a difference as the weekend progresses, finishing the session in P3 and emerging as the lead Ferrari once again ahead of qualifying.
Silver Arrows star Russell wasn't looking too hot early on in FP3 and could be heard complaining of a suspected front suspension issue, but in the dying moments of the session, the Brit managed to find more pace than Antonelli, beating him to the top spot in the third and final practice.
McLaren showed signs of life with Oscar Piastri finishing P4 and reigning champion Lando Norris rounding out the top five.
Here are the results from the final hour of practice in the Styrian mountains.
