维斯塔潘在F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛排位赛前领跑，拉塞尔与汉密尔顿紧随其后
红牛车手马克斯·维斯塔潘在F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛第三节也是最后一节练习赛中出人意料地做出最快圈速，在巴库棘手的街道赛道上力压梅赛德斯的乔治·拉塞尔和法拉利的刘易斯·汉密尔顿。
维斯塔潘在一小时练习赛的最后阶段、各车队切换至排位赛模拟时占据榜首，利用大尾流做出最快圈速，打破了梅赛德斯在巴库的热门地位。
第三节练习赛在比周五下午晚些时候的排位赛更不具代表性的条件下进行，开局较为平静，阿尔派车队领跑早期圈速，但与周四第二节练习赛的节奏相去甚远。大车队在练习赛进行15分钟后开始展现实力，夏尔·勒克莱尔用软胎做出的第二次尝试——1分45.564秒——超过了法拉利队友刘易斯·汉密尔顿的成绩。
当车手们试图为排位赛磨练尾流时机时——巴库城市赛道长达2公里的直道使尾流成为做出有竞争力圈速的关键因素——红牛的维斯塔潘冲至第一，但随后被汉密尔顿的1分45.093秒取代。
天气似乎比周五风更大，赛会因一根树枝被吹上赛道而短暂部署了虚拟安全车。大风也使赛车更难预测。维斯塔潘报告他的红牛赛车“像袋鼠一样跳”，随后冲入15号弯的缓冲区，他是多位充分利用巴库逃生通道的车手之一。
阿斯顿·马丁的兰斯·斯特罗尔则没那么幸运，他在1号弯撞墙，导致这位加拿大车手将赛车停下。
周五速度惊人地快的梅赛德斯在练习赛过半时开始搅局，安东内利以1分45.046秒的成绩以0.05秒力压勒克莱尔，随后拉塞尔以1分44.715秒占据榜首——两人均使用中性胎而非软胎。
银箭随后在最软的轮胎配方上亮出底牌，拉塞尔在还剩15分钟时做出1分44.177秒的标杆成绩。当拉塞尔随后以1分44.021秒进一步缩短时间时，安东内利落后队友0.252秒。
维斯塔潘借助巨大的尾流升至第二，夹在两辆梅赛德斯之间，这夸大了红牛在这个注定由积分榜领先者主导的周末的真实性能，荷兰人最终做出1分43.922秒的圈速领跑本节练习赛。
然而拉塞尔很可能还能更快，但他在1号弯锁死前轮，随后在7号弯直冲，设法将赛车停下而未撞墙。
汉密尔顿在最后时刻发力超越安东内利升至第三，勒克莱尔和阿尔派的皮埃尔·加斯利紧随其后。迈凯伦低调的周末仍在继续，尽管车队为改善低速弯性能带来了升级，奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里和兰多·诺里斯仍分列第七、第八。
回归的伊萨克·哈贾尔为红牛拿下第九，领先于第二辆阿尔派赛车弗朗哥·科拉平托。

F1 Azerbaijan GP: Max Verstappen leads George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in final practice
Max Verstappen leads George Russell and Lewis Hamilton into qualifying at Formula 1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Red Bull's Max Verstappen surprisingly took the fastest time in third and final practice for F1's Azerbaijan GP, pipping Mercedes driver George Russell and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton on Baku's tricky street circuit.
Verstappen took command at the very end of the one-hour session as teams switched to qualifying runs, defying Mercedes' favourite status in Baku by catching a big slipstream to go fastest.
FP3, held in less representative conditions than qualifying later on Friday afternoon, got off to a quiet start, with the Alpines leading the early running some way off Thursday's FP2 pace. The big-hitters started flexing their collective muscle 15 minutes into the session with Charles Leclerc's second attempt on softs - yielding a 1m45.564s - demoting Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton's effort.
As drivers tried to hone their slipstreaming timing for qualifying, with the Baku City Circuit's giant 2km straight making a tow a crucial element of a competitive lap, Red Bull's Verstappen lunged to first place only to be deposed by Hamilton's 1m45.093s.
Conditions appeared to be gustier than on Friday as race control deployed a brief virtual safety car for a tree branch which was swept onto the track. The wind also made cars less predictable to drive. Verstappen reported a Red Bull that was "jumping like a kangaroo" before going deep into the Turn 15 runoff, one of several drivers to make good use of Baku's escape roads.
Aston Martin's Lance Stroll was not so lucky as he tagged the wall in Turn 1, which prompted the Canadian to park the car.
Mercedes, which was ominously quick on Friday, started mixing it up at the halfway mark with Antonelli pipping Leclerc by half a tenth courtesy of a 1m45.046s lap, before Russell claimed top spot with a 1m44.715s lap - both on medium tyres rather than softs.
The Silver Arrows then showed their hands on the softest tyre compound as Russell put down a 1m44.177s marker with 15 minutes to go. As Russell shaved off some time with his subsequent 1m44.021s tour, Antonelli conceded 0.252s to his team-mate.
Verstappen benefitted from a huge slipstream to split the Mercedes cars in second, flattering the real performance of the Red Bull on a weekend set to be dominated by the championship leaders, and the Dutchman ultimately set a 1m43.922s lap to top the session.
Russell could likely have gone quicker still, however, but locked up the fronts into Turn 1 before going straight on in Turn 7, managing to bring the car to a halt without tapping the wall.
With a last-minute effort Hamilton pipped Antonelli to third, followed by Leclerc and Alpine's Pierre Gasly. McLaren's low-profile weekend continued with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in seventh and eighth despite the team's upgrades to improve its low-speed cornering.
The returning Isack Hadjar claimed ninth for Red Bull ahead of the second Alpine car of Franco Colapinto.
