William’s Alex Albon saw himself in the top ten but dramatically dropped positions as he finished seventeenth overall. Mick Schumacher had to settle for the eighteenth spot but he looked much more comfortable than yesterday.
He was able to maneuver the car accordingly and on the turns looked sharp. But sadly he couldn’t make an impact in the FP3 session. The big upset came in the form of Valtteri Bottas who finished nineteenth overall and had a poor outing on the track today.
Chequered flag in FP3 – that’s practice done in Baku! 🏁

He was outpaced by his teammate again and needs to have a good qualifying session ahead. Last but not the least, Williams Nicholas Latifi again finished last. He too saw himself in the top ten but then again he dropped positions.
