The rarefied air of the Mexican capital seems to suit the native child. Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) has already forgotten his driving error from the day before and achieved the best time in the third and final free practice session at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez this Saturday, November 6.

The Mexican therefore had the luxury of being ahead of his team leader, the championship leader. Max Verstappen. However, the Dutchman held the rope until the last minutes of this session contested in ideal weather conditions. But a change of soft tires and more aggressive settings allowed the public's favorite to overtake his colleague.

The latter had preferred to work on the back of his car, but the new settings imagined by his mechanics did not bear fruit during his final attempt. However, this remains much more satisfactory than the pace displayed by the Mercedes This morning. Indeed, Lewis Hamilton (3e) and Valtteri Bottas (4th) are more than half a second behind, a chasm in the ultra-tight world of Formula 1! But the men of Toto wolff got us used to hiding their game until the end of training…

Behind, Carlos Sainz leads the clan Ferrari, especially since Charles Leclerc was guilty of a spin and a controlled skid. Once is not customary, the rookie Yuki tsunoda (Alpha Tauri) achieves a faster time than his colleague Pierre Gasly ; However, the Norman focused on long relays using two trains of medium envelopes, unlike the Japanese.

In the soft underbelly of the peloton, the Alfa Romeo continue to flirt with the top 10, unlike the Alpine, extremely discreet. The table is completed by the Williams and Haas.

The qualifications will be followed from 20 p.m. French time on our site in live text.
