The McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris led the timesheets by some way in FP3 for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, with two red flags limiting Max Verstappen's effective running.
Red Bull brought a raft of upgrades in overnight, even skipping their morning pitstop practice to get them all fitted to their two cars ahead of the final practice session of the weekend.

Fernando Alonso brought out a red flag after 25 minutes of the session, losing the rear end of his Aston Martin at the end of the lap and piling hard into the wall.
The car and debris were cleared inside ten minutes, allowing for drivers to come back and complete most of their intended run plans without too much disruption - until Sergio Perez hit the wall with a handful of minutes remaining to bring out a second red flag, leaving drivers to scramble around to try and get a final lap in (with differing levels of success).
