EUROPEAN GRAND PRIX (AZERBAIJAN) - FREE PRACTICE #1
It was an interesting and exciting day as the drivers took to the brand new Baku City Circuit for the first time for the first practice session of the weekend. Nico Rosberg made history as the first driver to set a time on the circuit. Mercedes also managed to top the time sheets for the session, with Hamilton in 1st and Rosberg in 2nd.
Plenty use of the run-off areas and multiple yellow flags caused because of this. Lots of drivers trying to find the limits and learn the circuit the best they can before Sunday. The only red flag of the session was caused by Daniel Ricciardo, who clipped the barriers and then slid against the wall. Ricciardo emerged without injury, but his session was over. His team-mate, Max Verstappen, had his session cut short due to technical issues.
