FP3: Alonso tops final practice as Mercedes picks up pace

Following his strong showing on Friday, Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso continues to live up to the hype around him as he finishes top of the timesheet with the Red Bull duo of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez finishing P2 and P3 respectively. With the third and final practice taking place in daylight, the majority of teams took it easy at the start of the 60-minute session, staying in the garage for the opening minutes.

This guy, I did see, he had a three centimetre tear in his hammy,'' Tiley said in an interview with SEN Sportsday. “The doctors are ... going to tell you the truth,'' Tiley said. “I think there was a lot of speculation of whether it was true or not. It's hard to believe that someone can do what they do with those types of injuries. But he's remarkable.'' Djokovic won the trophy at Melbourne Park on Sunday by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets for a record-extending 10th title the...
