Follow the third and final free practice session for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix LIVE, thanks to F1i’s comprehensive coverage.

Mercedes led the way on the opening day at Monza, with team-mates and title rivals Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton topping one session apiece. The reigning Constructors’ champions were off to a better start than in Spa-Francorchamps one week ago, as they did not struggle with tyre wear on the Pirelli supersofts.

Ferrari has introduced yet another power unit upgrade for its home event and the Scuderia seemed to have the upper hand over Red Bull on Friday. Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will be keen to extend their early form in order to give the tifosi something to cheer about.

Behind the leading trio, it’s a tight fight between Williams and Force India as they squabble over fourth place in the standings, with Haas and McLaren-Honda also in the mix for a spot in Q3 this afternoon.

Teams and drivers will be given one final opportunity to fine-up their cars before qualifying so we can expect a busy 60-minute session this morning. FP3 gets underway at 11:00 local time (that’s 10am BST) and we will be bringing you all the news and information on F1i's live page.
