Bahrain GP Results: Carlos Sainz Goes Fastest In FP3 Ahead Of Qualifying

Carlos Sainz put in the fastest time during FP3 ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix. 

Following the Ferrari driver were Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen who put in the second and third fastest times, respectively. 

Max Verstappen was complaining of upshift and downshift issues yesterday, and today saw similar complaints coming from his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.

McLaren driver Lando Norris changed his CE (control electronics) and ES (energy store) prior to the final free practice session. Better news came from Fernando Alonso who claimed he felt "connected" to the Aston Martin AMR24 after he put in a lap a tenth of second faster than Verstappen.
