Sergio Perez headed final practice for Formula 1's first Miami Grand Prix, finishing ahead of Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen, while Esteban Ocon crashed ...
As Verstappen was returning to the pits, Leclerc was beating Perez’s sector one time by 0.4s, but he lost all his advantage by the finish line to wind up 0.194s adrift, even as his late improvement meant he moved ahead of Verstappen in the final standings. But he did not stay top of long, as Verstappen’s purple sector one and personal best in the middle sector was enough to get him ahead of his team-mate with a 1m30.649s, even though he was slower than his own best final third on the mediums. That had Verstappen top by 0.050s over Perez, with Leclerc 0.332s behind in third, but after a trip through the pits Perez responded with purple sectors in the first and final thirds to move back ahead on a 1m30.304s just as the final five minutes arrived. After a slow cooldown lap nearly a minute off the pace, Leclerc went for another flier – setting a purple sector one before losing time in the middle segment and then clawing time back in the final third, but not enough to improve the top time as he ended up 0.053s slower than his personal best. He then pitted and the attention switched back to Red Bull, with Sergio Perez, who had also been doing high-fuel running during the early stages and so languishing in 18th, shooting ahead of Leclerc with a 1m30.699s as the session’s final 10 minutes began. The session started with track temperatures nearly hitting 50°C, a point which was reached and surpassed by FP3’s halfway point, and Verstappen led the field out of the pits – an atypical run plan for Red Bull in final practice, as the team usually leaves the garage late in FP3 to focus solely on qualifying preparation runs.

McLaren’s Lando Norris leapt up to third with a flying final lap, ahead of Perez and Sainz. He vaulted up to fifth quickest. Gap Time Driver Cla
Sergio Perez put Red Bull top of the charts in final practice for the Miami Grand Prix, with championship leader Charles Leclerc slotting into second.
Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu was 18th, ahead of Nicholas Latifi, with Ocon propping up the classification having failed to set a lap time. Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel was one of a flurry of drivers to set their best lap in the closing stages as the track rubbered in. He did well to keep the car out of the barriers and end up third overall – Leclerc splitting the Red Bulls. But it wasn’t so good for Alpine team mate Esteban Ocon, who crashed at Turn 14, bringing out the red flag. Carlos Sainz clocked up the mileage, having lost a bunch of time in FP2 after he crashed at the chicane, and was seventh quickest, half a tenth of a second ahead of Kevin Magnussen. The Mexican clocked a 1m 30.304s on the soft tyres at the Miami International Autodrome, with his team mate Max Verstappen set to go quickest only to lock up on the run up to the chicane.
