FP3 HIGHLIGHTS: Watch the action from final practice as Norris impresses for McLaren
Mercedes managed their third one-two of the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix weekend on Saturday morning, with Lewis Hamilton fastest ahead of Valtteri Bottas in FP3, as Lando Norris' fastest time put him in P3 overall on medium tyres.
Norris was the only driver to set his fastest lap on the slower compound, which should put him in good stead for qualifying. The Racing Points lined up fourth and fifth, Nico Hulkenberg slightly faster than his team mate, as Red Bull's Max Verstappen (P7) was frustrated by the presence of slow-going Lance Stroll on one of his flying laps.
Meanwhile Ferrari took new power unit components as a "precaution" ahead of the session, after Sebastian Vettel's power unit failure in FP2.
