Leclerc’s 1m33.350s put him less than a tenth clear of Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz in FP1.

His margin over the rest of the field w﷽ould have been significantly greater had it not been for a lizard on track causing a brief yellow flag period.

On three different occasions, a lizard was on the track, forcඣing dr🌞ivers to slow down due to the yellow flags.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, who memorably pointed out a “giant lizard” in 2016, was the first driver to come across oཧne in an amusing exchange with his race engineer.

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

While Ferꦬrari did lead a 1-2 in first practice, less than two♑-tenths covered the top five.

Verstappen ended the session in third-place, ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris in the upgraded McLaren.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton completed the top five in the lead Mercedes, w♍ithin two-tenths o♔f Leclerc’s top time.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell was 0.3s down in sixth, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez could only manage seventh overall.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon completed the top 10 - all of the aforementioned driꦯverဣs set their best time on the softs.

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