With a super ride, also favored by a super wake, Max Verstappen he set the best time of the third free practice session at his home in Zandvoort. The Dutch (1: 09.623) gave half a second to everyone, starting with Valtteri Bottas (+0.556) and Lewis Hamilton (+0.794). Fourth time for the other Red Bull, that of Sergio Perez. Worse than yesterday, the Ferraris, ninth with Charles Leclerc and 16th with Carlos Sainz, but what worries Maranello is the condition of the Spaniard’s car, who crashed after 20 ‘. There are fears for the chassis and the gearbox, it will be a race against time to fix the car in time for qualifying (green light at 3pm).
Fifth position for an excellent Fernando Alonso, which confirmed the good shape of the Alpine on the Dutch track, while Norris, Stroll, Vettel, the aforementioned Leclerc and Gasly closed the top-10. Nineteenth time for Robert Kubica, who will replace Kimi Raikkonen (positive for Coronavirus) at the wheel of Alfa Romeo.
