FP1 was sopping wet today, with no car managing more than 9 laps of running on inters and extreme wet tyres. Given that this is a sprint weekend with reduce free-practice, and more rain predicted throughout the weekend... there's an elevated chance of shuffling the order.

There were a large number of off-track events, though nothing more than minor damage.
Aquaplaning seemed common on the inters, with off-track events being accompanied by very long stopping distances and extreme understeer.
Verstappen will take a 5-grid place penalty in the Gap this weekend in order to fit new gearbox components that exceed the season allowance.

Will Verstappen be p1 before DRS gets enabled? Place your bets. 👇

Best 5 seconds of excitement happened at end of Q2 when Max placed 10th and there were still 2 drivers putting their final time in. For a brief moment, I thought Gasly might knock out Max. Good times.

I don't think Perez could handle another defeat like that. Max would have won the race on pure rage if that happened.
