F1 Practice Today: Saudi Arabia Grand Prix results - Ferrari rookie Bearman replaces Sainz
Ferrari rookie Oliver Bearman put in an impressive showing on very little notice in FP3 at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with the team making the call on Friday morning.
The young Brit was drafted in to replace Carlos Sainz, who was diagnosed with appendicitis and was whisked off to hospital for surgery.
Already in a tough spot with no preparation time, Bearman's one hour of running was cut short when Zhou Guanyu smashed into the barriers at turn seven, writing off nearly 15 minutes of the session under a red flag.
Zhou wasn't the only driver to damage his car in the session, with Logan Sargeant clipping the wall on the inside of a corner and damaging his left front - telling his engineers he was unable to turn left.
At the top of the timing sheets, Max Verstappen put in two impressive laps on the soft tyres to ease ahead of his rivals.

How does F1 Qualifying work?
The 60-minute qualifying session is split into three finite windows which provides a dramatic prelude to Saturday's big race.
The bottom five drivers are eliminated at the end of Q1, with a further five eliminated after Q2.
Then Q3 gives us a shootout between the remaining 10 drivers in the battle for positions at the front of the grid.
