It is time for final practice ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, offering a final 60 minutes for each team to get its cars set up correctly for qualifying and the race.

However, the big question on the lips of McLaren and Ferrari is just how much more the Silver Arrows have in their locker. Final practice will offer an insight into that.
Eyes will also be firmly on Red Bull as it aims to bounce back from another horrid start to a grand prix weekend.
