McLaren's Norris fastest at final Italian GP practice

Lando Norris topped final practice at Monza by 0.021 seconds over Charles Leclerc, with McLaren aiming for a sixth consecutive win in the Italian Grand Prix weekend.

  • Lando Norris topped FP3 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza with a fastest lap of 1:19.331, edging Charles Leclerc by 0.021 seconds and Oscar Piastri by 0.165 seconds.
  • With qualifying looming, teams used FP3 to finalise setups as Lando Norris heads into qualifying on the back of strong practice form, chasing Oscar Piastri's 34-point championship lead.
  • The timing screens showed how close the field was as the whole 20-car field was split by less than one second, with Max Verstappen and George Russell posting fourth and fifth fastest times.
  • Qualifying later Saturday will set the grid for Sunday's Italian Grand Prix, with McLaren's FP3 pace boosting their victory chances alongside Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, and Sauber rookie Gabriel Bortoleto's surprise top-six.
  • McLaren's benchmark pace masked a tight contest, with FP3 showing Ferrari's late surge and Red Bull's resurgence, as Nico Rosberg said, `McLaren look very strong, but behind them it's very tight and there's still hope for us that maybe someone can challenge the McLarens`.
