Silverstone: George Russell edged team-mate Lewis Hamilton as Mercedes set the pace ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris in Saturday's cold and rain-hit third and final free practice session at the British Grand Prix.
The three Britons demonstrated their familiarity with the conditions as the Mercedes men delivered a one-two for the Silver Arrows ahead of Norris, who was fastest in both sessions on Friday, and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz.
Series leader and three-time world champion Max Verstappen was fifth for Red Bull ahead of Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.
Russell, winner in Austria last weekend, clocked a best time in one minute and 37.529 seconds.
That was good enough to outpace seven-time champion Hamilton, who has won a record eight times in his home race, by 0.035 seconds with Norris adrift by 0.185. Sainz was six-tenths further back.
