How to follow Saturday in Melbourne on TV/streamingThe news of FP1The news of FP2

Good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE of FP3 and the qualifying of the Australian GP, ​​third round of the 2024 F1 World Championship. On the city circuitAlbert Park in Melbournewe will witness a particularly intense day-2 in which the pilots will look for the smallest detail to maximize their performance in view of the time-attack.

Ferrari will attack Red Bull or at least try. On the first day of free practice the Reds performed well, with the Monegasque Charles Leclerc particularly on the ball and author of the best time in FP2. Good too Carlos Sainz who, despite the stop imposed by an attack of appendicitis two weeks ago in Jeddah (Saudi), showed that he was there.

However, the package to beat will be the one formed by Max Verstappen e la RB20. The Dutchman had a somewhat troubled first day in Australia, damaging the floor of the car in the first free practice session and therefore being able to lap a little less than the others. He didn’t immediately find the right fit for Max, but we are certain that he will be in the mix for pole position.

OA Sport offers you the LIVE LIVE of FP3 and the qualifying of the Australian GP, ​​third round of the 2024 F1 World Championship: real-time news and constant updates. It starts at 02.30 Italian with FP3, while qualifying will begin at 06.00 Italian. Good fun!
