Portuguese GP - F1 - FP3 - Qualifying

FP3:-

Practice Race 3 was a Gasly show. Though he wasn't able to finish yesterday because his car was on fire (click here to watch its video) he completely nailed it today. The final outcome was in as usual Mercedes's favor. Bottas successfully made a hat-trick of fastest lap in Portuguese GP. The fight for second place between Lewis and Max was continued. 

Charles Leclerc was able to finish in top 6 with Carlos Sainz at 7th position. The session was red-flagged with one-minute remaining for the session to end as Sebastian Vettel ran his Ferrari over the drain covers at the exit of turn 14. He finished 11th this time too (gotta feel sad for seb)

Valtteri Bottas

Carlos Sainz was driving his upgraded engine, turbo and MGU-H (Motor Generated Unit-Heat). McLaren's second driver, Lando Norris, finished 9th. Sergio Perez of Racing Point finished 8th.
