The seven-time world champion showed that both he and the Scuderia’s car are in very good racing form, leaving Kimi Antonelli in second place (+0.213) in second place and his teammate, Charles Leclerc (+0.599), in third.

George Russell rounded out the top four, nearly 7 hundredths of a second slower than Hamilton, while McLaren and Red Bull appeared to be significantly slower than the other two top teams, with the gaps being close and just over a second!
