F1 FP3 Results: Lewis Hamilton fastest, Esteban Ocon and Landon Norris shock P2 and P3 at Spa F1 Free Practice 3 | Formula 1 2020 Belgian Grand Prix

F1 FP3 Results of the Belgian Grand Prix have gone in favor of Lewis Hamilton, with Esteban Ocon in P2 and Lando Norris in P3. 

The Formula One 2020 seventh race weekend’s practice sessions are done with the third Free Practice session at Spa for the Belgian Grand Prix.

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton had a solid session finishing fastest. Renault impressed yet again, with Esteban Ocon in P2 and Daniel Ricciardo in P7. McLaren’s Lando Norris had a brilliant session to finish P3 before the qualifying later today.

Ferrari’s woes have continued though, with both Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel  yet again out of the Top 10. This is going to be a weekend to forget for the most successful team in Formula 1 history.

Red Bull and Racing Point would want to improve on their performance, after Alexander Albon and Max Verstappen finished P4 and P6, and Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez finished P8 and P10.

What to look forward to this weekend at the Belgian GP?

Hamilton, Bottas and Verstappen seem set to compete for the podium positions yet again, with all three looking solid so far this season. Ferrari are a disaster waiting to happen this weekend, with Sebastian Vettel bottom of the pile in this session. Ferrari cannot wait to leave Belgian and move to their home nation Italy for next weekend.

Further down, the mid-teams’ competition is heating up between Racing Point, McLaren and Renault. Renault have looked especially good, with both Daniel Ricciardo and Ocon putting in some fine performances. The qualifying session in less than 100 minutes from now will gave us a good indication where each team stands for tomorrow’s extravaganza at Spa.
