The Formula 1 scene has been making the headlines with the Monaco Grand Prix coming up. This will be one of the biggest races of the season with all the big racers on the card. The qualifying will also start in a short while, determining which racer will have the advantage going into the iconic race.

Though the qualifying and the big race have not begun yet we have seen some iconic practice sessions just before the iconic race where the drivers will be looking to get some confidence just before the race. The last two practice sessions saw some racers giving some great performances. The time has come for the last practice session of the FP3 to see which racer has been looking in form just ahead of the qualifying and Grand Prix race.

Leclerc finishes on top before qualifying

It was  Charles Leclerc once again, who went on to have the fastest time in the last practice session before the qualifying just edging past Max Verstappen in having the fastest lap in the Fp3. The Ferrari racer will have immense confidence going into the qualifying race. Lewis Hamilton and Oscar Piastri finished as 3rd and 4th in this session. They were then followed by Sergio Perez and George Russell who make the top 6 fastest laps.

It was George Russell, Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris Yuki Tsunoda and Fernando Alonso who finish as the last 4 people to be in the top 10 and more or less have had some of their most underwhelming performances in this last practice session. Overall it has been one another practice session where it is Leclerc who has come out as the man with the fastest lap in the FP3. This has been a race where it was once again one of the top racers in Leclerc and Verstappen impressing everyone once again this season.
