Kimi Antonelli set a scorching pace to top final practice ahead of Monaco Grand Prix qualifying.
Max Verstappen finished fifth in the session, which was interrupted by a 10-minute red flag towards the end.
Lewis Hamilton, who topped Friday’s practice, ended up in third place, with George Russell in fourth, trailing his Mercedes teammate by 0.763s.
The 19-year-old driver was the sole racer to break the 1m 12s barrier, surpassing Charles Leclerc by over three tenths to secure the second spot.
During the third practice before the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying, Kimi Antonelli impressively clocked a 1m 12.720s lap, steering clear of Ferrari’s Friday dominance.
The session saw Lewis Hamilton kickstart the driving action, with all drivers eventually setting their lap times using only the soft tyre compound.
As the session progressed, issues with brakes surfaced for Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez, while Kimi Antonelli led the charts midway and went on to set a 1m 12.720s lap time.
Although a red flag temporarily paused the session due to Oliver Bearman’s Turn 3 crash, the green flag waved for a final dash towards the end, maintaining Antonelli’s hold on the top position ahead of Leclerc, Hamilton, Russell, and Verstappen.
The top ten was rounded out by Oscar Piastri, Gabriel Bortoleto, Isack Hadjar, Lando Norris, and Nico Hulkenberg.
