F1 LIVE: Lewis Hamilton replacement shows true colours as Ferrari hit with FIA punishment

Lando Norris finishes FP3 as the quickest driver on track, edging out his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri.

Max Verstappen comes home in third place with a bit of a gap to Kimi Antonelli in fourth.

Charles Leclerc is fifth for Ferrari while Lewis Hamilton is all the way down in 10th place.

It seems clear that McLaren will be the ones to beat in qualifying later today.

Anthony Davidson believes Max Verstappen showed a 'rare' weakness by losing his cool in the cockpit during FP1 at Imola.

At one point, the Dutchman became frustrated with the balance of his car and banged his steering wheel in anger.

"Time and time again, he finds lap time, he extrapolates it from the car," said Davidson on Sky Sports.

"When it’s really not to his liking, he gets frustrated with the car, as we see with [Lewis] Hamilton losing the balance of the car through turn two.

"Hamilton’s just carrying on this lap, he’s still pushing, whereas it came to a head for Max during FP1.

"It’s a rare sight. He lost his cool with the car, and he actually hit the steering wheel."

Lewis Hamilton might not be winning on the track but he is certainly doing well off it.

The 40-year-old has retained his crown as F1's highest earner, according to the Forbes list of the world's highest-paid athletes.

Hamilton is laughing all the way to the bank with an estimated £60.2m in earnings this year.

It puts him just ahead of Max Verstappen, who has reportedly earned £58.7m over the last 12 months.

Pierre Gasly has admitted to killing a rabbit during practice at Imola in what he described as a 'sad' incident.

"Very sadly, I could not tell what it was, and it turned out it was a big rabbit just jumping across the track," he explained.

"I could not avoid it, so I had quite a big impact on the front wing, and unfortunately, that was it for the rabbit, which broke the front wing.

"It was not ideal, but it was not the session we wanted, and it is quite unfortunate, as we always try to look after our parts."

Ferrari have been fined by the FIA after a sporting infringement in practice at Imola.

The team failed to adhere to a technical directive which specifies that a tyre may be used more than once in a single session.

It states: "if the team wishes to make adjustments to the tyres such as reducing tyre pressures, it requires that first, tyre temperatures must be obtained."

The stewards elected to hand down a £4,200 fine, which has been the standard penalty in similar incidents.

Kimi Antonelli has invited all of his classmates to Imola to watch him drive for Mercedes this weekend.

The young Italian, who replaced Lewis Hamilton at the Silver Arrows, said he wanted them to see how much work goes on behind the scenes.

Imola is just down the road from Bologna, where Antonelli was born and raised.

He said: "Yeah, I organised this, thanks also to some people at Mercedes. We were able to organise this for the school.

"I think it's a good way for them to see with their own eyes this world.

"They used to watch the races on TV, but didn't actually know what's going on behind it. I think it's a really good experience and I really hope they enjoy it."
