#F1 Max Verstappen edges out Lewis Hamilton in #BahrainGP 🇧🇭 #FP3

Max Verstappen set the benchmark on Saturday in final practice ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix by pipping Hamilton by just one tenth of a second.  Sebastian Vettel was third for Ferrari

Hamilton is looking for his third straight pole position of the season after going quickest in Australia and China.

He is level at the top of the championship standings with Vettel. In an exciting start to the season, both have one win and one second-place finish each, with Vettel winning in Melbourne and Hamilton taking the checkered flag in Shanghai.

Although not as hot as Friday, drivers still had to deal with track temperatures of 37 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit) on the sweltering hot circuit located in the desert.

The session was briefly halted some 20 minutes from the end after Haas driver Romain Grosjean spun across the track and into the barriers, damaging his car’s front wing. After quick repairs, the Frenchman had the car back on track for the final few minutes.
