Carlos Sainz - one of two home heroes for the Spanish crowd to cheer on - wound up third-fastest fo𝓰r Ferrari, 0.344s off Norris’ FP1 benchmark, though his time was set on the medium compound.

Having set the pace early on in the first hour-🌃long practice session, George Russell꧃ ended up fourth and nearly four-tenths adrift in his Mercedes.

Sergio Perez was fifth in the other Red Bull, ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton, who ran wide at Tur🐠n 10 and ended up a few tenths adrift of his Mercedes teammate Russell.

Charles Leclerc was unhappy with 🍬his Ferrari car as he missed out on the top-10, finishing 11th in the order.

The Monegasque complained his car was “horrendous” during the early stages, before reporting there was something wro𝔍ng with his clutch.
