Max Verstappen set the pace in the final practice hour in Zandvoort, as the home favourite mastered the wet conditions to top the timesheets ahead of George Russell and his team mate Sergio Perez.

The drivers ran in hot and humid conditions on Friday, but they were greeted by a wet track on Saturday morning, as heavy rain hit the circuit right before the session got underway, with more arriving during FP3.

As the session got underway and the drivers began to filter out on to the track, the sun began to shine through. However, track conditions were still wet with both Red Bulls in Verstappen and Perez, as well as Lando Norris ending up off-track.

After a seven-minute delay, the drivers went back out on track with Verstappen going fastest, leading Norris by over a second and a half. However, there was another red flag as Zhou Guanyu beached his Alfa Romeo in the gravel at the final corner.

Once the action restarted, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Norris began to swap fastest times, before the session was once again red flagged.
