Charles Leclerc got his Ferrari in between the pace-setting McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the end of final practice at the Italian Grand Prix.

Leclerc ended up just 0.021 seconds behind Norris with his second attempt at a flying lap, after a wild oversteer moment at the second Lesmo on his first lap.

Championship leader Piastri, who leads Norris by 34 points in the championship with nine races to go, was 0.165secs slower than Norris in third.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took fourth place, 0.182secs off Norris, ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell.

Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto was fifth, ahead of Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari, Isack Hadjar’s Racing Bull, Kimi Antonelli’s Mercedes and Alex Albon’s Williams.

Less than a second covered the entire field, with Esteban Ocon’s Haas 0.973secs slower than Norris in 20th place.

The session was incident-free, although a number of drivers flirted with the gravel that lines the track at Monza, including Norris and Leclerc.

And several more cut the first chicane as they explored the limits of braking down from more than 330km/h for the slow right-left.

Verstappen had a bad-tempered incident with Ocon.

The four-time world champion used a disparaging term about the Frenchman after Ocon tried to come back at him after Verstappen dived down the inside into the corner.

Later on, Verstappen blocked Ocon when he tried to pass into the second chicane.

The two have history and do not get on out of the car.

McLaren look about as formidable as we might have expected, but Charles Leclerc showed that Ferrari could come out fighting at their home race.

Lando Norris edged out Leclerc to go fastest but who's going to seal pole for tomorrow's Italian Grand Prix?

Get some lunch and we'll be back for qualifying build-up from 14:30 BST.

It's so difficult around this track to get yourself a clean lap when it comes to qualifying. There are only 11 turns and it's fast, so who will have a plain sailing qualifying and who will get bitten? I'm so excited for this one.

12. Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)

13. Carlos Sainz (Williams)

14. Franco Colapinto (Alpine)

Lando Norris tops practice once again and it's probably closer than he would have liked from Charles Leclerc at least.

Lewis Hamilton did set a lap time but he wasn't able to make his way further up the order. He actually lost all his time to Leclerc in that first sector, so if he matched Leclerc in that first sector he would have been top of the times.

Ferrari surprised some people with their one-two in FP1. But their pace is much different on Saturday.

"Need some more juice. Need some more speed somehow."

Lewis Hamilton goes sixth fastest while Charles Leclerc is ninth fastest with five minutes of the session remaining.

Leclerc pounds the kerb and almost gets trapped in the gravel at the second Lesmo.

The second time in this session he's rescued his car at speed.

Charles Leclerc is looking on the edge, Lewis Hamilton is looking more settled.

Hamilton was up on Lando Norris in that first sector but he's lost a bit of time in the middle.

Kimi Antonelli needs an assured session having beached his Mercedes in FP2 yesterday.

He goes 10th fastest and two tenths off his team-mate George Russell.

The two Ferraris are on an out lap.

As you might have guessed, they're on the soft tyre.

1. Lando Norris (McLaren) 1:19.331

2. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) +0.182

3. Oscar Piastri (McLaren) +0.247

4. Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) +0.272

5. George Russell (Mercedes) +0.306

Does Lando Norris give too much away in this final practice session? They share the information and share the GPS data so Oscar Piastri can learn from Norris and Norris can learn from Piastri as well, but I've always wondered if he's doing his best in FP3 and that's too soon?

We're approaching the final 10 minutes of third practice and the McLarens, predictably, are the fastest on track.

What have Ferrari got in their locker at their home race? They're yet to register a time on the softs at the minute.

The soft tyre is where it's at right now.

Isack Hadjar's gone third fastest while Gabriel Bortoleto's gone fourth with an impressive lap in his Sauber.

Lando Norris has set a marker on that soft tyre.

He goes fastest and carves almost four tenths out of Max Verstappen with a time of 1:19.331.

Meanwhile Oscar Piastri goes second fastest 0.247 seconds behind his team-mate.

Lando Norris has had the soft tyres bolted on and so has Oscar Piastri, they will go out and see what they can do.

With McLaren looking mightly impressive this season, how are championship leader Oscar Piastri and his rival Lando Norris looking?

Piastri's ninth fastest as things stand with Norris 16th. I don't think we've seen the best of the pair so far on Saturday.

20 minutes remain.
