F1 Hungarian Grand Prix FP3:Lando Norris Leads Final Practice at Hungaroring

The final practice session ahead of qualifying at the Hungaroring saw teams continue their search for the optimal setup on the relatively slow Hungarian circuit following the high-speed challenges of Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps. Overnight, track conditions improved, with several of the most significant cracks in the asphalt repaired.Aston Martin ran its updated AMR26 specification for the first time. Following Lance Stroll's accident during the opening practice session, the team was only able to complete repairs by Saturday morning after replacement parts were flown in from its UK headquarters. Meanwhile, Red Bull Junior Team fitted Arvid Lindblad's car with a new power unit before he returned to the track.The session was briefly halted by a red flag after Sergio Perez suffered a technical failure. His car developed a braking system issue on the straight leading to Turn 2, forcing the Mexican driver to end his session prematurely.Once the session resumed, drivers continued evaluating the Soft and Medium tyre compounds, while several competitors ran wide at various corners without any major consequences. Lindblad eventually returned to the circuit shortly before the chequered flag following the completion of repairs. Lando Norris topped the timesheets, setting the fastest lap of the session with a 1:17.939.
