Overview
- Lando Norris set the FP3 benchmark in windy conditions with a 1:41.223, ahead of Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton.
- Ferrari led FP2 with a Hamilton–Leclerc one-two after both McLaren drivers hit the walls, with Norris sustaining session-ending damage and Piastri escaping with light contact.
- FP1 was curtailed by a loose kerb and lengthy red flag, but McLaren still logged a 1-2 as Piastri returned to the track following an early power-unit issue.
- Oscar Piastri is under investigation for a possible failure to slow under yellow flags in FP2, and Alpine's Franco Colapinto faces separate checks for a red-flag infringement in FP1 and a yellow-flag incident in FP3.
- Pirelli’s softer C6 compound has brought quicker laps, with Ferrari and Red Bull showing competitive pace alongside McLaren ahead of qualifying later on Saturday.
