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

Free Practice 1:

Hope you all are enjoying the race weekend so far, and we've just gotten done with FP1, so time for a quick re-cap before the second session starts. As always, you can follow us on our twitter @F1Insider78 for our LIVE commentary-coverage!

So, this session was started with all teams having removed their FRIC suspension systems after they were investegated and shown they may be breaching the regulations of the sport. The problem with the removal is that the front end of the cars are now sliding around quite a bit, making it very hard to control the car around the sharp turns.

We had 2 reserve drivers in this session including Giedo Van Der Garde in for Esteban Gutierrez and Susie Wolff in for Valtteri Bottas. Susie started off the session only to find there were issues with the car, which Williams fixed quickly to get her back out for the rest of the session.

Other people having car troubles included Kimi Raikkonen with a water-pump issue and some smoke coming out of the rear of Max Chilton's Marussia. At the end of the session Lewis Hamilton reported 'Low power' with his Mercedes. But that didn't hamper their performance as it was another Mercedes AMG 1-2 result.

Here are the rest of the times.
