168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen set the pace in the opening F1 practice session for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, 0.186s ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso.

Red Bull continued their dominant start to the year as Verstappen headed✤ the timesheet🅘s in FP1.

Like in Bahrain, FP1 - which takes place in the afternoon - is ultimately unrepresentative of the conditions teamไs will face in qualifying and the race - which are under the floodlights.

However, Verstappen was the driver to beat in first practice 💝with a 1m29.659s his best time.

Alonso put his Aston Martin inside the top two with an impressive✱ time, although based on the first race, it’s unlikely the Spaniard will be able to maintain it come race day.

Sergio Perez completed the ൲top three in the second Red Bull, 0.209s off Verstappen’s top time.

Perez claimed his 💟maiden pole position back in 2022 in Jeddah, while he took the race victory last year ahead of Verstappe♉n.

It wasn't an entirely smooth session for Stroll, ﷽w🌌ho brushed the wall at Turn 22 with his front-left tyre.

Valtteri Bottas was just outside of the top 10 in the lead Sauber, 1.1s off the ⛦pace.

Daniel Ricciardo set his best time on the mediums, and didn’t run on the reꦚd-marked soft, as he set the 12th fastest time ahead of Esteban Ocon, Logan⛄ Sagreant and Oscar Piastri.

It was the same for Yuki Tsunoda, who didn’t r🔥un on the softs as 🔜he ended up 16th overall.
