Charles Leclerc was the standout performer in the final Formula 1 practice session before the British Grand Prix, with tight competition among the leaders setting the stage for an intense battle for pole position. The session was twice red-flagged due to incidents involving Gabriel Bortoleto and his Sauber, as well as debris on the track. Despite initial quiet moments, the action picked up with impressive lap times from Leclerc, Verstappen, and Hamilton. Leclerc eventually claimed the top spot with a fast lap time of 1m25.498s, but the session ended abruptly due to a red flag caused by Bortoleto’s crash. The tense qualifying battle ahead was certainly foreshadowed by the competitive performances during FP3.
