2026 F1 Barcelona Grand Prix - Final Practice Results
George Russell topped the final Formula 1 practice session at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver returned to the top of the time sheets in FP3, leading Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc.
Lando Norris, who topped second practice on Friday, was fourth fastest.
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen both featured in the top six, but neither appear to have the pace to challenge for pole position later on Saturday.
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli was off the pace in seventh place, but he found traffic on each of his final two hot laps, masking his true pace.
With tyres dropping off the cliff after just a single hot lap, similar problems in qualifying could carry a huge cost.
The full results from FP3 are below.
