Here are the complete F1 results from the third free practice session (FP3) at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the fifth round of the F1 2025 season at the Jeddah circuit.

Norris’s lap was just 0.024 seconds clear of team-mate Oscar Piastri, with the pair set to renew battle in qualifying later on Saturday.

Mercedes driver George Russell was third, albeit a massive 0.627s adrift of Norris’s best time, with Max Verstappen fourth for Red Bull.

Verstappen’s late lap demoted Charles Leclerc to fifth, with the Ferrari driver only marginally faster than the Williams of Alex Albon.

Albon’s Williams team-mate Carlos Sainz was seventh, less than a tenth ahead of Pierre Gasly’s Alpine.

Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Yuki Tsunoda recovered from his FP2 crash on Friday to post the ninth-fastest time, with Andrea Kimi Antonelli completing the top 10 for Mercedes.

Lewis Hamilton was a disappointing 12th, 1.291s off the pace as his difficult start to the season continued.

Hamilton has qualified no higher than eighth in Saudi Arabia since winning the inaugural race in Jeddah in 2021.
