    Lando Norris set the pace in final practice at the Mexico City Grand Prix while team-mate and title rival Oscar Piastri continued to look uncomfortable.

    Piastri, whose lead has been diminished by both Norris and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen consistently over the past four races, was fourth fastest, 0.599 seconds off the pace.

    Verstappen was also lagging behind Norris, only sixth fastest and 0.639secs slower than the Briton and complaining of “no grip, front and rear”.

    Piastri leads Norris by 14 points in the championship with five grands prix and two sprints remaining this season. Verstappen is 26 points further back after taking three wins and a second place in the past four races.

    Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton was second to Norris, 0.345secs off the pace, with Mercedes’ George Russell third fastest, 0.167secs behind his former team-mate.

    The second Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli was fifth fastest, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc seventh from Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar and the second Red Bull of Yuki Tsunoda.

    We've had a Ferrari top FP1, we've had a Red Bull top FP2 and now we've got a McLaren topping FP3.

    It's difficult to call going into qualifying just who has got the advantage.

    Max Verstappen is not happy at the moment and why would he be, he's sixth at the moment. That is not the session Verstappen would have wanted.

    "Yeah, no grip, front and rear."

    Another push lap for Max Verstappen but he only marginally improves. It seems he is struggling with grip.

    Max Verstappen was very quick through the first two sectors but lost time in the final sector. Was that a because he made a mistake or was it because there is something to do with that car in the slow-speed corners where it's not working?

    Alex Albon was at one point fastest through the first two sectors but locked up in the final sector and now he is reporting a problem with his car. A disappointing session for him.

    George Russell goes third quickest, half a second off Lando Norris.

    Max Verstappen, one of the favourites for pole position here, is currently seventh quickest.

    The middle sector is such a rhythm area of the track, the moment you turn into Turn Seven it almost dictates everything through to the exit of Turn 11.

    Some concern here for Fernando Alonso. He is out of his Aston Martin and the car has been taken apart to try and rectify an issue they found after switching from the medium to the soft tyres.

    He won't be getting out again in practice but he will hope the extra time to work on the car will have the issues resolved by the time qualifying comes round.

    Big lap by Lando Norris! Fastest of all through all three sectors as he does a 1:16.633 and that is three tenths quicker than Lewis Hamilton.

    Now it is Lewis Hamilton's turn to be quickest with 1:16.978 after a superb middle sector. He's more than two tenths quicker than anyone else.

    Now Kimi Antonelli is quickest with 1:17.253, 0.053s quicker than Charles Leclerc.

    I suspect his stay at the top will be brief as well.

  18. Postpublished at 19:18 BST

    Another change at the top as Charles Leclerc goes quickest with 1:17.306. Once again there's so little between these times at the moment.

  19. Postpublished at 19:17 BST

    Now championship leader Oscar Piastri goes quickest of all with 1:17.315, just 0.081s quicker than Isack Hadjar.

  20. Postpublished at 19:16 BST

    George Russell briefly went fastest but he has been nudged down to P2 as Isack Hadjar does a 1:17.396 on softs.

    Almost everyone else is on softs now so expect plenty of changes at the top over the next 15 minutes.
