Leclerc’s 1m33.350s put him less than a tenth clear of Ferrari teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz in FP1.

On three differ𒁃ent occasions, a lizard was on the track, forcing drivers to slow down due to the ye💧llow flags.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, ꩲwho memorably pointed out a “giant lizard” in 2016, was the first driver to come across one in an amusing exchange with his race engineer.

🐻Verstappen reported over team radio: "Ah! Thereꦜ's a lizard again on the track! A smaller one this time".

While Ferrari did lead a 1-2 i⛦n first practice, less than two🐈-tenths covered the top five.

Verstappen ended the session in third-place, ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris in the upgraded McLaren.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton completed the top five in the lead Mercedes, within two-tenths of Le🌳clerc’s top time.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell was 0.3s down in sixth, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez could only manage seventh overall.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon completed the top 10 - all of the aforementioned drivers set their best time on the soft⛎s.

Only 0.7s separated the top 10 in first practice, with thꦇe session fairly unrepresentative given the track co🍌nditions being completely different to what will be the case in FP2, qualifying and the race.
