During the first session of the weekend in FP1, George Russell set the pace. The British driver's fastest time was a 1:34.077. Kimi Antonelli finished in second place, ahead of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. However, the seven-time world champion set his fastest time on the medium tyres, and the Monegasque driver also made a mistake on his first attempt on the softs.

Max Verstappen finished fifth, ahead of Lando Norris, Arvid Lindblad, and Oscar Piastri. The Dutchman was more than six tenths of a second behind Russell earlier today.

In terms of the championship, Antonelli dealt his teammate Russell a heavy blow at the Italian Grand Prix. The young Mercedes driver won after starting from P19 on the grid last Sunday, while the Briton finished second despite starting on the front row. As a result, Antonelli now leads the championship by 66 points. In third place, Ferrari's Hamilton is 76 points behind, while Norris trails Antonelli by 96 points.

Tomorrow, the weekend continues with the third and final free practice session, which begins at 11:30 BST (12:30 local time) in the Spanish capital. Qualifying will then follow as usual at 15:00 BST (16:00 local time). The Spanish Grand Prix itself will take place on Sunday afternoon at 14:00 BST (15:00 local time).
