Spanish GP: Free Practice 1 - Re-Cap & Results

The first two Free Practice sessions for the 5th round of the F1 2014 season took place yesterday and I'm here with a short re-cap of the first session and of course, also I will post the times.

Driver Changes For Session 1: Giedo Van Der Garde in for Esteban Gutierrez and Felipe Nasr in for Valtteri Bottas.

This session wasn't Vettel's favourite, as his car stopped after only 4 laps with a huge wiring issue which also kept him out of FP2. Giedo Van Der Garde suffered a brake failure during a lap and had to do everything he could to keep the Sauber from going head first into the wall. 

Perez also suffered an issue, when one of his mirrors came loose and he grabbed it, holding it in his car as he steered with one hand. The team told him to box when he radioed them to say he lost a mirror. 

It was Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton who stayed on top, and in Second was not Rosberg, but Jenson Button, with his team-mate, Magnussen, coming in 7th. McLaren is looking much stronger this weekend than in the previous GP's.

Now, on to the times!
