Piastri heads another dominant McLaren 1-2

Piastri set an ominous pace for McLaren to top final practice in Bahrain by a huge margin.

The Australian was 0.668s quicker than Norris while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, the closest non-McLaren driver in third, was a whopping 0.834s adrift. 

George Russell was fourth ahead of teammate Kimi Antonelli as both Mercedes ended up a over a second off the pace of Piastri's searing lap. 

Alpine's Pierre Gasly took sixth ahead of Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar who continued his impressive start to the weekend. 

Max Verstappen was outpaced by Hadjar in the Red Bull as the four-time world champion could only manage the eighth best time, 1.3s behind the lead McLaren.

Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton, who was six tenths slower than teammate Charles Leclerc, rounded out the top 10 for Williams and Ferrari. 

Nico Hulkenberg stopped on track when his Sauber entered anti-stall, causing a short Virtual Safety Car period. 

Yuki Tsunoda was the slowest driver in FP3 as he ended up 20th in his Red Bull and nearly two seconds off the pace.
