British F1 star Ollie Bearman crashed during FP3 at Silverstone as a late red flag caused chaos in the session.

Lewis Hamilton looked quick enough to set the fastest time during the final practice session, but a late red flag hampered his chances and was forced to abandon his lap.

A loose bit of endplate flew off Bearman's Haas and was left stranded on the track at Stowe, which was promptly cleared by the marshals.

However, it wasn't long before a second red flag was thrown after Gabriel Bortoleto crashed his Sauber and beached into the gravel, where he had damaged his front suspension by hitting the kerb.

Initially, the start of FP3 was delayed by five minutes, after the marshals were spotted sweeping away excessive tyre marbles that had collected on the track from a procession of historic F1 cars prior to the session.

FP3 offered a tantalising insight into how competitive qualifying could be however, with both Ferraris, Mercedes' and Max Verstappen all in the mix towards the top of the timesheets with McLaren.
