After dominating Friday practice at Marina Bay, Ferrari continued top the timesheets with Carlos Sainz leading Mercedes driver George Russell by 0.069s in Free Practice 3 on Saturday afternoon at the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix.
Ferrari remained quick and had Charles Leclerc fifth fastest, with Max Verstappen in the Red Bull just ahead of the Monegasque, though his session was not without difficulty
Both Verstappen and Sergio Perez, in the sister Red Bull, were still having issues with the rear of the car and the pair went off track on numerous occasions. The Mexican reported sliding on corner entry and the front of his car feeling light under breaking.
Lando Norris in his updated McLaren was third fastest with Lewis Hamilton in sixth, and Oscar Piastri seventh.
