Valtteri Bottas set the pace in final practice ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix despite missing half of the session following a crash that heavily damaged his Mercedes.
The Finn was narrowly faster than team-mate Lewis Hamilton by just 0.014 seconds but made a mistake by running wide at Spoon curve before losing control and heavily damaging the right side of his Mercedes.
Mercedes totally dominated the session, running three tenths of a second faster than nearest rival Sebastian Vettel despite running the harder soft compound tyre at Suzuka.
