There is always a Mercedes, that of Valtteri Bottas (1''20'089), in the lead after the third free practice of the Monza Grand Prix but the gaps from rivals are less abysmal than yesterday.
Sainz (+0.229) and Norris (+0.323) on McLaren are scary for the afternoon's qualifying.
Only fifth Lewis Hamilton (+0.350).
The Ferraris do not wake up but shorten from the leaders: Leclerc is eleventh (+0.828), Vettel closes fifteenth (+1.174).
The two drivers will have to be perfect to be able to enter Q3.
The end of the session was ruined by a red flag due to technical problems at the Renault of Daniel Ricciardo (fourth at +0.330) who abandoned his car before the Lesmo 1, forcing the marshals to wave the red flag.
