Published October 3, 2026 · Updated October 3, 2026 · Motorsport.com

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

Antonelli's performance came after Mercedes struggled in the first two practice sessions, managing only second and fifth in FP1 and seventh and eighth in FP2 despite bringing a heavily upgraded W17 to Sepang.

The championship-leading team faced stronger competition from other teams on Friday but responded perfectly in the final practice session ahead of qualifying. sportbet.reviews
