How do teams arrive to FP3?
On Friday in Singapore, Charles Leclerc could top FP1, while Lando Norris was the quickest in FP2, and Carlos Sainz also finished in P3 in both sessions. On the other hand, in terms of one lap pace, Red Bull and Mercedes did struggle. In FP2, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton finished in P7 and P11 respectively, while Perez and Verstappen only finished in P8 and P15 as well. In terms of his long run however, the Dutchman did show some promise on the hard tyres. Either way, both teams will have to alter their setups ahead of qualifying to challenge the McLarens and Ferraris for pole position based on the FP2 results.
At the moment, Max Verstappen still leads Lando Norris in the drivers' standings. Norris' gap behind the Dutchman currently stands at 59 points. On the other hand, after the Azerbaijan GP, McLaren could overtake Red Bull Racing in the constructors' standings, as the British team now lead their rivals by 20 points.
