The six-time world champion, chasing a fourth win in a row on Sunday to stretch his 30-point lead over the Finn, lapped with a fastest time of one minute 25.606 seconds using medium tyres on a hot but cloudy afternoon.
“I think it's been generally a good day. We had understanding, good findings from last week and I think made some small adjustments which have cut off a millisecond here and there,” said Hamilton.With 87 career wins, the Briton is closing in fast on Ferrari great Michael Schumacher's all-time record of 91 set between 1992 and 2006.
“The gap to Mercedes last weekend was big, so of course I think it’s quite normal that we can’t magically change things within a few days, but we are doing what we can,” said Verstappen.
