EL3 in Sakhir: Ferrari 0,5s ahead of Red Bull, Mercedes behind
Daniel Ricciardo follows closely with the second RB14, while the best Mercedes is only fourth after a messy lap of Lewis Hamilton. Sebastian Vettel completes the Top 5 for Ferrari. The four-time German world champion was slowed down in his momentum when part of his right pontoon came loose.
Valtteri Bottas wins the sixth fastest time ahead Nico Hulkenberg, once again seventh. Nice group shot of Renault since the former winner of 24 Hours of Le Mans ahead of his teammate Carlos Sainz by less than a tenth. Pierre Gasly secures a third Top 10 in as many free sessions for Toro Rosso-Honda. The Frenchman is ahead of McLaren de Fernando Alonso and his garage neighbor Brendon Hartley, which had the new aero package for the first time this weekend this Saturday.
The Haas de Romain Grosjean et Kevin Magnussen seem to be behind again: Romain Grosjean is in 12th place, three places ahead of Kevin Magnussen. The Force India continues to evolve in the soft underbelly of the peloton with Esteban Ocon 13th and Sergio Pérez 14th. The setbacks of Williams continue since Sergey Sirotkin and Lance stroll bring up the rear with their FW41s.
The last free session got off to a very peaceful start since we had to wait more than a quarter of an hour before seeing a first timed effort. It must be said that the conditions will be different during the qualifications which take place after dark. They will begin at 18:00 p.m. local time (17:00 p.m. French time) and will be followed live with commentary on CARhebdo.fr.
