F1 Results Today: McLaren bounce back in Baku as Verstappen and Hamilton beaten at Azerbaijan GP

McLaren star Lando Norris was the fastest Formula 1 star on the track on Saturday morning as teams put in their final preparations ahead of qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

After a difficult FP2 on Friday, Norris and McLaren bounced back to set the quickest lap time of FP3, registering a 1:41:223 secs, enough to beat Red Bull star Max Verstappen in second by over two tenths (+0.222).

Championship leader Piastri was third, 0.254 seconds behind Norris, who he leads by 31 points in the championship standings, whilst Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli rounded out the top five for Ferrari and Mercedes, respectively.

It was another session in which McLaren showed their excellent pace on a weekend in which they could seal the constructors' championship, and that was despite the good pace shown by Ferrari during the first two practice sessions on Friday, with Hamilton and Leclerc having finished one-two in FP2.

Throughout the final practice session, drivers were struggling with wind speeds that were in excess of 40mph, with turn 16 being a problem area for many drivers, being caught out by conditions that were completely different from Friday's practice action.

With qualifying up next, let's take a look at the full results and times from FP3!
