Norris pips Antonelli to top spot in Mexico City FP3

Lando Norris topped Free Practice 3 in Mexico City ahead of the Grand Prix, edging Kimi Antonelli by just 0.001 seconds at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Norris set a 1m 17.600s in the final minutes, his first run to dip below the 1m 18s barrier, while Antonelli replied with a 1m 17.601s after switching to the soft Pirelli tyres. Charles Leclerc finished close, ending up second after backing out a soft-tyre lap following a wide moment. Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were among the fastest, with Norris, Antonelli, Leclerc, and Piastri completing the top four. Ryo Hirakawa replaced Esteban Ocon at Haas after Friday starter Esteban Ocon’s seat became unavailable.
