Saturday's FP3 is the last of three 60-minute practice sessions available to teams for the Bahrain Grand Prix. The session will be followed by qualifying.

Saturday's practice session gives teams time to finalize their setup and strategy for the qualifying session, which ultimately sets up the grid for the race on Sunday. We expect teams to carry out low-fuel, qualifying trim runs in the third practice.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull topped both practice sessions on Friday. The Dutchman beat Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas in FP1 and then bested McLaren's Lando Norris in FP2. Friday's practice sessions have confirmed the pre-season theories of McLaren's electrifying pace. The Woking-based team will look to carry their form into the third practice session on Saturday, and eventually on to qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
