F1 Results Today: Lewis Hamilton struggles again as Max Verstappen thrashed by McLaren

Verstappen, meanwhile, finished in P4, which doesn't sound too bad. However, he was over eight-tenths away from Norris' time, meaning Red Bull have some serious ground to make up if they want to be in the fight for pole.

Hamilton, meanwhile, finished the session down in P12, sounding puzzled over the radio when told where he was losing lap time to his rivals, and how much. His team-mate Charles Leclerc ended the session P5.

With that said, let's take a look at the full results from FP3.
