Charles Leclerc led the way for Ferrari in Singapore on Saturday afternoon during the third and final practice session, despite some concerns about his drivetrain.
The Monegasque racer was heard over team radio describing a noise during downshifts through Turn 7, but was later reassured by his team it was nothing to worry about.
He was half a second faster than Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in wet conditions. Although the track dried up towards the end of the 60 minutes, allowing for slick tyre runs, there remained areas of dampness scattered around the tight street circuit.
Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz rounded out the top three, with Alpine’s Fernando Alonso fourth, albeit 1.6s slower than Leclerc.
