F1 Results Today: Verstappen misery compounded as F1 star summoned by FIA stewards

McLaren star Lando Norris topped the timesheets in the final practice session at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen’s struggles at Red Bull continuing.
Norris set FP3’s fastest lap time with a 1:27:489secs around the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, edging team-mate Oscar Piastri by just 0.024 seconds. Mercedes star George Russell finished the session in P3, with Max Verstappen behind in P4. However, Verstappen’s lap time was over eight tenths off the leading time, with plenty of work for Red Bull to do ahead of qualifying later in the day.

Elsewhere, it was also a difficult session for Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton. Whilst his team-mate Charles Leclerc ended the session in P5, Hamilton could only manage P12.
Meanwhile, it could be a nervous few hours ahead of qualifying for Alpine star Jack Doohan, with the Aussie summoned to see the stewards in relation to entering the painted area between the pit entry and the track during FP3.
