(ANSA) – ROME, 11 DEC – Lewis Hamilton was also the fastest in the third free practice of the Abu Dhabi GP, which tomorrow will award the F1 drivers world title. The British driver of Mercedes lapped in 1.23.274, ahead of rival Max Verstappen (+0.214), teammate Valtteri Bottas (+0.751) and Sergio Perez’s other Red Bull (+0.773). Sainz is eighth (+1.231) and Charles Leclerc tenth (+1.484).
At Mercedes there is attention with respect to the hypothesis of investigation for a possible impediment of Hamilton exiting the pits on Nikita Mazepin (Haas) forced to go wide in his fast lap. If a reprimand were given, it would be the third of the season for the Briton, and would trigger the penalty of ten positions on the starting grid.
Lando Norris (Mc Laren) got the fifth time (+0.832), then the Alpha Tauri of Yuki Tsunoda (+0.949) and Pierre Gasly (+0.977). Daniel Ricciardo (Mc Laren) is ninth (+1.459). (HANDLE).
