Lewis Hamilton ended the opening day of practice at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix with the fastest time, having led a Ferrari 1-2 over team mate Charles Leclerc in FP2.
Across a more representative second session, following the heavily interrupted FP1, Hamilton worked his way down to a best effort of 1m 41.293s with Pirelli’s soft compound tyre.
It put the seven-time World Champion 0.074s up on Leclerc, with the Mercedes machines of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli around half a second back.
