Hamilton on top with Antonelli fourth in final practice at US Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton topped the times for Ferrari ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen with Mercedes’ championship leader Kimi Antonelli fourth in Saturday’s third and final free practice ahead of the United States Grand Prix.

The 41-year-old seven-time champion clocked a best time of one minute and 34.893 seconds to outpace his old rival, four-time champion Verstappen, by 0.168sec at the Circuit of the Americas.

Hamilton’s Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc was third after having several laps deleted — like many of the drivers — for exceeding track limits, finishing ahead of Antonelli and his Mercedes team-mate and nearest title rival George Russell.
