Lewis Hamilton was thrashed by his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc in Free Practice 3 at the Bahrain Grand Prix as McLaren’s domination of the weekend continued.

After finishing in P8 in FP2 on Friday night, Hamilton struggled even more in the scorching Bahrain heat on Saturday, only able to register a lap time quick enough for 10th position as his team-mate Charles Leclerc put his SF-25 P3.

Hamilton’s lap time was 1.465 seconds off the pace, with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri having set a blistering 1:31.646 lap time in his papaya machinery, so much so that even his team-mate Lando Norris was 0.668 seconds behind in P2.

McLaren do look dominant, however, and they will be happy to see that Max Verstappen could only put his car in P8 ahead of qualifying later today.
