LIVE F1 | Australian GP 2024: Live Free Practice 3 [LIVE TIMING AND PHOTOS]

Live Free Practice 3 Australian GP – Good morning friends of Motorionline and welcome to the live text of the third free practice session valid for the Australian Grand Prix, third round of the 2024 Formula 1 world championship.

After yesterday's sessions, teams and drivers will return to the track for a further hour of useful work to prepare not only for the qualifying which will take place in a few hours (live from 6.00), but also for the race scheduled for tomorrow. 60 fundamental minutes to perfect the packages and find the latest countermeasures on the Albert Park track.

All eyes are obviously on Charles Leclerc, who set the best time yesterday, but all predictions are obviously on the side of Max Verstappen, the true star of this first part of the season. Also worth following are the McLarens, Carlos Sainz - not yet at 100% physical fitness after the appendix surgery - and the Mercedes, who appeared in clear difficulty in last night's FP2.
