The Ferrari drivers were a whopping 7 tenths clear off the nearest Mercedes, as Leclerc and Vettel set blazing lap times one after another.
Charles Leclerc topped the final practice session, as the Monegasque clocked a lap time of 1:29.569s, while his teammate, Sebastian Vettel ended the session in 2nd place, 0.169s slower. Both the Ferrari drivers were on qualifying simulation runs and used the C3 tires.
While the Ferrari drivers led upfront, the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas went 3rd and 4th fastest respectively. They were followed by Haas' Romain Grosjean in 5th, as the French driver recorded a lap time of 1:30.818s on C3 tires.
While 6th placed Nico Hulkenberg kept showing some promising performance in the Renault, it was Lando Norris of McLaren, who went as quick as 1:30.955 and slotted himself into 7th place. His teammate, Carlos Sainz was 9th.
Sandwiched in between the two McLarens, was the Honda powered Red Bull of Max Verstappen, who couldn't do a lap time better than 1:30.959s. Rounding off the top 10 was the Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat.
Verstappen's teammate, Pierre Gasly also had a dismal FP3 with him only going 12th fastest, just 0.059s faster than Kimi Raikkonen in 11th position. Kevin Magnussen also struggled to match the pace of his teammate, and ended the session 8 places down on Romain Grosjean.
Both Racing Points of Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez had an improved FP3, in contrast to a disappointing FP2 yesterday. With slight improvements, the Racing Point drivers crossed the checkered flag placed 14th and 15th respectively.
Daniel Ricciardo on the other hand yet again struggled to keep up with Nico Hulkenberg, as his woes continued with no answer as to what exactly was wrong with his car setup. While Hulkenberg finished in 7th place, Ricciardo could only manage to go 16th fastest, with a lap time of 1:31.643s.
Alexander Albon and Antonio Giovinazzi finished the session 17th and 18th respectively. But unsurprisingly, it was the Williams lineup that sat at the bottom of the timesheets, with both George Russell and Robert Kubica only managing to go 19th and 20th fastest in FP3.
Final FP3 Classifications:
The Qualifying will begin on 08:00 PM (March 30th) of Pakistan Standard Time and 10:00 AM EST (March 30th).
