Mercedes has once again made a statement during the only free practice session of the weekend.
George Russell was the quickest during the only non-competitive session in Shanghai. His best lap time was a 1:32.741. The British driver finished ahead of Kimi Antonelli.
The closest driver to the two Mercedes was Lando Norris, who finished around five tenths behind. The lead Red Bull Racing driver, Max Verstappen, finished sixth.
The fewest laps were completed by Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad, who had to stop on track due to issues with his car.
