Mercedes could not match Ferrari's pace through FP3, with Lewis Hamilton finishing almost four-tenths of a second off the pace in P3 as he bounced back following his crash on Friday that limited his running.

Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly finished the session in fifth and sixth respectively ahead of Renault's Daniel Ricciardo, while Lando Norris took eighth for McLaren.
Sergio Perez ended FP3 ninth for Racing Point as teammate Lance Stroll suffered a hydraulic failure that brought his session to an early end and prevented him from setting a lap time. Daniil Kvyat completed the top 10 for Toro Rosso.
