The first session of the Austin GP weekend got underway on a very sunny Friday morning.
While everything went pretty well, there were a few drivers who suffered from technical issues. There were quite a few lock-ups and spins here and there.
Daniel Ricciardo had to retire from the session early with an ERS issue, but fortunately he was able to come back for FP2 in time.
We also acknowledge the absence of Marussia and Caterham who are missing the F1 weekend due to financial and management problems. No word yet if they'll be back in time for Brazil, but we're hoping they get things sorted in time for the final 2 races.
In this session were two drivers who are not currently racing this season. First, youngster Max Verstappen for Vergne in the Toro Rosso. He will be driving for the team next year. We also had Felipe Nasr driving for Valtteri Bottas in the Williams.
Here are the final times from this session.
