George Russell led first practice and after Valtteri Bottas’ qualifying simulation time was deleted in second practice, was ahead again.

Max Verstappen and Alex Albon have both looked quick, with Verstappen having the edge but neither quite as fast as Russell in full flight. Whether the Red Bull crew can find a change overnight – after Verstappen, in particular, complained about understeer repeatedly – will remain to be seen but they are within a few tenths of a second of the Mercedes.

In the midfield, Lando Norris has had some tricky mechanical issues after floor damage while the Racing Point and Renault cars have looked quick, Perez and Ocon third and fourth for much of second practice. AlphaTauri had an exceptionally strong first practice, with both cars up with the Mercedes and Red Bulls but were more in the pack during second practice.
