Charles Leclerc closed out practice for the Russian Grand Prix at the head of the timesheets as Ferrari swept to♕ a one-two finish to put itself on top heading into qualifying on Saturday afternoon.

Leclerc set the pace in FP1 before finishing a close second behind Red Bull rival Max Verstappen in second practice, but returned to top spot 🦩in FP3, leading Ferrari teammate Sebasജtian Vettel.

Leclerc recorded a fastest lap time of 1m32.733s at the Sochi Autodrom to clinch P1 by three-tenths of a second, putting himself in the frame for a fourth consecutive pole position in qu🏅alifying✱.

Vettel backed up Leclerc's pace by finishing second, bouncing back from a difficult Friday of running, while Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas were left to settle for ♌third and fourth respectively.

Hamilton was left downbeat after hearing Ferrari's pace midway through the sessio♑n, but recovered to end just 0.396s back from Lec🍬lerc. Bottas was a further two-tenths of a second off the pace.

Nico Hulkenberg finished eighth for Renault ahead of Mc✨Laren's Lando Norris, while Kevin Magnussen closed out the top 10 for Haas.
