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


The Spanish GP weekend is officially underway and it's proving to be a tough start for some teams, while others are already feeling the potential for a podium this Sunday.

3 reserve/test drivers drove in this session. Susie Wolff took over for Bottas, Raffaele Marciello took over for Marcus Ericsson and Jolyon Palmer took over for Romain Grosjean.

Daniel Ricciardo didn't get much run time as his car was facing some major problems. He ended up having his engine changed after the session due to a leak and is now on his 4th and final engine.

McLaren is looking to improve this weekend, despite not having the major upgrades yet. The session didn't go too bad for the British team, despite Alonso having a late spin after the flag was called.

Here are the times from the session.
