Today is the day where the real labor's results during the holidays were brought to light! We've seen some great laps from many drivers, but none of them showed the real potencial of their cars!

FP3 Results:

In FP3, the last practice, Sainz had the best time of all! Followed by Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen. Even though, they did some great laps, neither of them were the fastest of the practice sessions! That lap record went to Lewis Hamilton in FP2.

The final results are the followings:

• Carlos Sainz (1:30:824) Ferrari
• Fernando Alonso (1:30:965) Aston Martin Aramco
• Max Verstappen (1:31:062) Red Bull Racing

• Lando Norris (1:31:118) McLaren
• George Russell (1:31:190) Mercedes
• Oscar Piastri (1:31:210) McLaren

Some teams really disappointed during this free practices, like Alpine. I thought they would be higher in the grid. Which team surprised you?

Qualifying Results:

As we were used to, Max Verstappen took the pole position again. It was very close, and the time laps were amazing, but he still managed to stay ahead of the rest of the grid. He was followed by Charles Leclerc and George Russell. It seems that finally both Red Bull drivers found the ideal configuration for this circuit!
