Followed by Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari).

Training was also marred by the crash of Red Bull’s Sergio PĂ©rez, who had several problems in free practice. After his elimination in Q1, the Mexican will start from 20th position.
