Max Verstappen sets the pace as Sergio Perez endures difficult F1 final practice
Ve🍌rstappen - who has never won the Australian GP - seems to be the firm fav🐼ourite to take Red Bull’s first win at Albert Park since 2011.

The Mexican ended the session P6 overall - behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly - but that didn’t tell the whole story.
Perez sat in the꧃ garage for the opening 20 minutes of the sessi💟on as Red Bull worked on his car due to an unconfirmed issue.
However, when🤪 he was on track, he didn’t l𝐆ook comfortable in the RB19.
Perez had offs at Turn 1, Turn 3 and𒉰 the penultimate corner as he struggled with the brakes on his Red Bull.
He reported over team radio: "I just don't feel the car... it's all OK with the car? I cannot brake inꦫto Turn 1, very loose rear, then a lot of front lock into Turn 3. Very inconsistent in tꦦhe corner.”
Perez folloꦇwed 🌱it up with: “I cannot believe this session.”
Just behind Perez was Carlos Sainz - who had a late spin after the chequered flag - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu.
