Valtteri Bottas continued where he left off in FP2 by setting the pace during Saturday's final practice session ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix.
Bottas and teammate Lewis Hamilton traded fastest times to form a Mercedes 1-2, comfortably clear of Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, after the Dutchman's flapping rear wing was checked by mechanics throughout the session.
Having posted the second-quickest time on Friday, AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly again showed strongly to split the Red Bull pair in fourth.
