The drivers took to the track for the final free practice session of the weekend in Las Vegas. After the practice sessions on Thursday evening, the take-aways were that Mercedes look strong, Ferrari should be contenders, and most surprisingly, Red Bull looks to be on the back foot. See who looks strong out on track:

• Valtteri Bottas has a 5-place grid penalty for the Grand Prix because he took a new Energy Store for his car
• The conditions out on track were very tricky for the drivers as the temperatures are cold which creates a lack of grip for the cars
  • The dust and cool temperatures make it very difficult for the tires to get up to temperature
• Sergio Perez seems to be struggling with the track temperatures and wasn't able to get a solid lap in the early stages of FP3
• After a terrible day on Thursday, Alex Albon was able to get out on track and set some times ahead of qualifying
• Max Verstappen told his engineers that the car is 'undriveable'
  • He also claimed that he is 'going to crash' as he cannot get any grip
• Lance Stroll brought out the red flag as his car started smoking near the front brakes
  • This paused the session briefly as the marshals got the car out of the way
• Williams looked stronger today with Alex Albon finishing the session in P7 and Franco Colapinto finishing in P8
• Mercedes continues to look strong with George Russell topping the session and Lewis Hamilton finishing in P6
• George Russell topped the session ahead of Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz
