Mercedes showed consistency with Russell and Kimi Antonelli in seventh, while Ferrari relied on Leclerc after Hamilton’s improved showing with his new car. The dry track conditions allowed optimal tire strategies, shaping preparations for qualifying.

Norris’s performance signals strong McLaren potential for pole position, though Russell and Leclerc remain threats. Piastri’s incident adds pressure on the team, while Verstappen, despite not leading, stays a race favorite. As a result, teams are now focusing on final adjustments before qualifying.
