: Russell led the pack, followed by Yuki Tsunoda (+0.828s) and Esteban Ocon (+1.207s). These three drivers, along with Kevin Magnussen and Alex Albon , were permitted to run standard soft tyres for half the session because they sat out FP1 to make way for rookies.
: The session was red-flagged after approximately 33 minutes when Leclerc lost control of his Ferrari at Turn 7 and slid backwards into the barriers at Turn 8. While he was unhurt, the impact caused significant rear-end damage.
