McLaren returned to the top of the F1 timesheets during final practice for the Australian Grand Prix, with Lando Norris leading the way.
In a session that was delayed on several occasions due to incidents and spins, including crashes for both Aston Martin drivers, Norris' best time of 1:19.117 put him just over a tenth clear of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
Sergio Perez, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz completed the top five positions, with Max Verstappen back in seventh after failing to set a competitive time on the Soft tyre.
Mercedes placed eighth and 11th with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell respectively.
