Charles Leclerc had the last word. This Saturday, the Monegasque, behind the wheel of its Ferrari, signed the best time of the third and last free test session of the Grand Prix of Formula 1 of Great Britain. This session was particularly chaotic and no less than two red flags even had to be released. In this session, the Australian Oscar Piastri (McLaren) took second place, just ahead of the Dutch Max Verstappen (Red Bull).
The top 5 was completed by Norris and Tsunoda. The first four stood in just a tenth. The first Frenchman, Isack Hadjar, is ninth. Esteban Ocon, for its part, finishes thirteenth, while Pierre Gasly ends up in the 20th and last place. The majority of minivans were equipped with tender tires. Others were in medium tires, while Isack Hadjar had opted for hard tires.
Leaving the track, head-to-one …
Ten minutes from the end of this session, while Charles Leclerc had signed the reference time in 1’25 »498 and his teammate, the British Lewis Hamilton was ahead of his time, a first red flag was agitated, since a room in the Haas d’Oliver Bearman ended up in the middle of the track. When this room was removed, there were only five minutes left. This did not allow the pilots to be able to make a last lap. Like Hamilton, ultimately only eleventh.
Indeed, in the process, a second red flag was released. This time, it was because of a trip from Gabriel Bortoleto. The Brazilian pilot came out without problem, but this is not the case with his car. For his part, Bearman, when he returned to the stands, went to the head-to-one and broke his front wing. The classification therefore remained frozen, with a top 3 composed of Leclerc, Piastri and Verstappen.
