HIGHLIGHTS: Catch up on FP3 in Abu Dhabi as Russell goes fastest and Hamilton crashes out

George Russell set the pace during the third and final practice hour of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, a session that was briefly interrupted following a crash for Lewis Hamilton.

The Mercedes man lead the way on a 1m 23.334s, a mere 0.004s ahead of championship leader Lando Norris in second. Norris’ title rival Max Verstappen put his Red Bull in third place, ahead of Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso in fourth and the other McLaren of Oscar Piastri completing the top five.

In an eventful final practice of the weekend – and the season – the red flags were thrown when Hamilton spun off into the barriers at just over halfway through the hour, bringing the Ferrari man’s outing to an early end.

Meanwhile there was a collision between Kimi Antonelli and Yuki Tsunoda in the pit lane during the latter stages of the session when the former was released into the path of the Red Bull, a clash that will be investigated after the session for an unsafe release.
