Isack Hadjar, impressively, still in third. <\/p>\n Most qualifying simulation lap times are being set now.<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson6 September 2025 12:19<\/p>\n <\/a>Max Verstappen now on top<\/p>\n Verstappen, on softs, goes top with a 1:19:688, three-tenths quicker than Leclerc in second and Hamilton in third.<\/p>\n The Dutchman not happy with Esteban Ocon, however, who blocked him slightly: \u201cHe\u2019s such a ****.\u201d<\/p>\n 4-10: Albon, Russell, Hulkenberg, Tsunoda, Hadjar, Piastri, Bearman <\/p>\n The McLarens yet to set a time on the mediums or softs…<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson6 September 2025 12:02<\/p>\n <\/a>Lewis Hamilton towards the top again<\/p>\n With a five-place grid penalty for tomorrow\u2019s race, Lewis Hamilton knows he needs a strong qualifying later on. <\/p>\n And so far, he\u2019s been right at the business end of the timesheet, around a circuit he has won at five times. <\/p>\n Kieran Jackson6 September 2025 11:54<\/p>\n <\/a>Yuki Tsunoda quickest early on<\/p>\n The Red Bull driver with a 1:20:775 on hard tyres is the fastest man so far, with Lewis Hamilton two-tenths down in second and Isack Hadjar in third. <\/p>\n Most drivers just getting into their rhythm now…<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson6 September 2025 11:47<\/p>\n <\/a>FP3 underway!<\/p>\n On another stunning day in northern Italy, we\u2019re underway with the third and final hour of practice at Monza. <\/p>\n The final practice session of the European season…<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson6 September 2025 11:30<\/p>\n <\/a>FP3 coming up!<\/p>\n We\u2019re five minutes away from the third and final practice in Monza! <\/p>\n It was Lando Norris\u2019 session last time out, but Ferrari again looked quick after their one-two in FP1. Who will set the final benchmark ahead of qualifying later?!<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson6 September 2025 11:25<\/p>\n <\/a>Lando Norris in defiant mood as he eyes F1 title comeback against Oscar Piastri<\/p>\n Asked if he believes Piastri now needs to suffer a DNF in order for him to win the title, Norris replied: \u201cNo because in the end, if he\u2019s done a better job, then credit to him.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s how I am. I can still win the championship without anything like that happening and that\u2019s the way I wish to do it. It\u2019d make my life easier if there were just some more drivers in between us now and again.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re so dominant as a team that it almost makes my life harder, that\u2019s probably the most frustrating part of it all.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s still the best man win and if it\u2019s that way at the end of the season, I\u2019ll respect that.\u201d<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson6 September 2025 11:22<\/p>\n <\/a>Cadillac add IndyCar star to F1 ranks for debut season in 2026<\/p>\n Cadillac<\/a> have signed IndyCar<\/a> star Colton Herta as an F1<\/a> test driver, with the American switching back to the European single-seater pyramid in the hope of an F1 seat in the future.<\/p>\n Herta, 25, has been linked with an F1 switch for a number of years and there was speculation that American team Cadillac could pick him as a home driver for their debut in the sport next year.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2233970754.jpg\")
