Lando Norris set by far the fastest time in the final practice session at the Mexico Grand Prix on Saturday, gapping the rest of the field by more than three tenths of a second.

The session's timing boards looked markedly different to those from Friday evening, with Max Verstappen down in sixth while Lewis Hamilton sped his Ferrari round for the second fastest lap of the hour-long stint.

Earlier, Hamilton appeared to be auditioning for this Christmas' Disney on Ice as he slid off the track on three occasions in the first 18 minutes, doing battle with his Ferrari's brakes.

Nevertheless, Hamilton filled himself with plenty of confidence ahead of qualifying and secured the second fastest time, beating former team-mate George Russell in third.

Verstappen could only manage the sixth fastest time and was unable to improve during his subsequent push laps.
