Lando Norris could only manage the 12th fastest time in a session that began with his team sending him out on track with some loose tools inside the cockpit.

It proved to be a strong practice for Williams with Carlos Sainz fourth and Alex Albon fifth, ahead of Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar. Mercedes' George Russell topped the times early on before ending up seventh with the top 10 rounded out by Yuki Tsunoda, Kimi Antonelli and Fernando Alonso, with Lewis Hamilton down in 13th position.
