Red Bull’s Max Verstappen made it a hat-trick of topping practice sessions at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez as he was fastest in Free Practice 3 at the 2023 Mexico City Grand Prix.
Alex Albon impressed once again as he put his Williams just 0.070s behind Verstappen, and ahead of Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull.
After an indifferent Friday, George Russell looked much more on the pace in FP3 with a time that was just over three tenths slower than Verstappen’s.
Both Alpine cars struggled for grip with Esteban Ocon 20th and last, while Pierre Gasly could only manage 18th position.
