McLaren has completed a clean sweep of fastest laps in practice across the weekend with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri taking top honours. The former was fastest in FP1 whilst his teammate topped FP2 and FP3. 

Nico Hulkenberg, Kick Sauber, had problems out on track as his car shut down on him and left him stranded at turn eight. This prompted a temporary Virtual Safety Car to allow marshals to remove the Sauber.

So what was the classification for FP3?
