Antonelli Tops FP3 After Mercedes Struggles

Kimi Antonelli topped final practice at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, helping Mercedes recover from a challenging Friday.

The Mercedes driver secured the top spot in FP3 after the team struggled in earlier sessions with their heavily upgraded W17, managing only second and fifth in FP1 and seventh and eighth in FP2.

The championship-leading team responded well on Saturday, with Antonelli's performance indicating Mercedes' improvement after other teams appeared stronger during Friday's practice sessions. sweetbonan.org
