Leclerc fastest again as F1 continues after Saudi attack

Charles Leclerc set the pace for Ferrari in Saudi Arabian GP final practice as Formula 1 drivers returned to the track following a dramatic Friday.

F1 is still racing in Jeddah this weekend despite a missile attack on a nearby oil depot on Friday afternoon in the city, with the grid of 20 drivers agreeing to take part following crisis talks in the paddock late into the night.

They hit the high-speed street circuit on Saturday for third and final practice and it was Leclerc who made it a hat-trick of fastest practice times by knocking Max Verstappen off top spot on his final lap.

Leclerc's 1:29.739 was just 0.033s quicker than the world champion.

It is the Red Bull driver, however, who appears the man to beat heading into this evening's qualifying session after backing out of a lap that could have been half a second quicker.

Sergio Perez was just behind in third, with Carlos Sainz in fourth as Red Bull and Ferrari dominated.
