Lando Norris Sets New Lap Record in Singapore FP3
Sep 21st, 2024
Summary
Lando Norris dominated the final Formula 1 practice session at the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, topping the timesheets by over 0.4 seconds. The McLaren driver set a blistering lap to finish 0.479 seconds ahead of George Russell and Oscar Piastri. Norris' time of 1:29.646 was nearly half a second faster than Russell's best lap, and was a new lap record for the Marina Bay track.
The session saw improvement from Mercedes and Red Bull compared to Friday's running, while Ferrari took a step back. Norris' time was set on soft tyres, and he will look to carry this form into the qualifying session and the race itself.
