Charles Leclerc is on the mediums and is able to beat Yuki Tsunoda and Max Verstappen - who had just jumped the RB driver - to the best seat in the practice house.The long pit lane here means it's more penalising to stop.

"Alex was driving along, running over a kerb - which is fairly normal, you can see that on the data - then all of a sudden, everything stops; data stops altogether," said Vowles.
Miami Grand Prix winner Lando Norris also experienced some difficulties in first practice and ended his hour in eighth place with just 17 laps on the board. Leclerc, using Ferrari’s first big upgrade of the season, was 0.104 seconds quicker than George Russell’s Mercedes, with the second Ferrari of Carlos Sainz third in Imola.
