HIGHLIGHTS: Watch all the action from final practice ahead of the Portuguese Grand Prix
The final free practice session for the Portuguese Grand Prix was not quite as dramatic as FP2 on Friday, but there was still plenty of action as the drivers tried to dial in their cars ahead of qualifying.
FP2 saw two red flags – the first for Pierre Gasly's car fire and the second for Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll's crash at Turn 1 – but FP3 was a far more straightforward session, at least until the dying moments when it was stopped after Sebastian Vettel drove over a drain cover leaving it in a dangerous raised position.

Before that, the drivers had all been busy trying to get their set-up right, and understand the tyres on this newly-surfaced and slippery track, with Valtteri Bottas ultimately coming out on top – though Max Verstappen was also looking very quick in his Red Bull and could be a threat for pole.
Elsewhere Lewis Hamilton had an unplanned trip across the gravel and Charles Leclec spun as they all tried to get used to this new-to-F1 circuit. Hit play in the video above to see all the key moments from the final practice session before qualifying.
