It is advantage Sergio Perez going into the final Formula 1 qualifying session of 2022 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver pipped teammate Max Verstappen to P1 in third practice by 0.052 seconds, with Lewis Hamilton lurking close behind.
However, the seven-time World Champion could be facing a grid drop for a red flag infringement after passing cars while it was flying. A three-place grid drop is the usual penalty.
Elsewhere, Daniel Ricciardo heads into what could be his final qualifying with a three-place grid drop, while Sebastian Vettel will try to find a way to claim a 54th pole in what is definitely his last Saturday as an F1 driver.
