Australian GP: Red flag in FP1 as Alex Albon creates 'muchos debris' and Norris goes P1

Lando Norris set the pace in FP1 at the Australian Grand Prix, the McLaren driver up on Max Verstappen and George Russell with the top nine separated by a mere 0.209s.

His team-mate George Russell, though, wasn’t having as much fun, and told Mercedes: “A bit of vibration through the steering rack.” He added: “The pedal is a bit long.” Max Verstappen’s opening gambit put him P5 with his team-mate Sergio Perez having just gone quickest in a session in which it looked as if the softs needed a lap or two to come into their best. And then Verstappen went quickest on his second hot lap, a 1:18.670.

13 laps on the medium tyres and Tsunoda stuck his RB into the tussle for a top spot, mixing it up with the soft tyre runners to sit 0.390s down on Verstappen’s P1 time.
