Lando Norris set an impressive pace during the final practice session for the 2025 F1 Mexican Grand Prix.
Norris was fastest, beating Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton by 0.3 seconds. The British driver is on a roll, cutting his lead over Oscar Piastri to 14 points in recent rounds.
Piastri had a huge amount of work to do in preparation for qualifying and finished FP3 in fifth place. The difference between Piastri and Norris was nearly six-tenths.
George Russell was third fastest for the leading Mercedes, 0.4 seconds off Norris’ top time, while Charles Leclerc had two Ferraris within the top four.
Max Verstappen lamented his lack of grip en route to setting the sixth fastest time at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Kimi Antonelli ended practice in 7th place, just 10 seconds behind Russell.
Izak Hajar was just ahead of Red Bull’s Hiroki Tsunoda, with Gabriel Bortleto rounding out the top ten.
It was a tough session for Fernando Alonso, who was unable to achieve a fast lap towards the end of the session. The two-time world champion was slowest in FP3.
