After Ferrari dominated proceedings on Friday, all eyes would be on the rest of the field to see how they would react to the Scuderia’s early pace.
McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri both put themselves in the mix as the fastest flying laps came in later in the session, after an early red flag delay due to a brake fire for Sergio Perez at Turn 2, which curtailed the rest of the Cadillac driver’s session.
Racing Bulls’ Arvid Lindblad spent most of the session in the garage, too, with the team unable to get him out for final runs until the final five minutes.
Norris became the first driver to break the 1:18 barrier on a 1:17.939, with Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Antonelli and Charles Leclerc all setting up what could be a thrilling three-team fight for pole later on Saturday.

There was some late damage for Carlos Sainz over at Williams, who reported he “destroyed his plank” at the fast left-hander of Turn 4, affecting the underside of his car.
As for the full session, however, Norris’ practice form showed McLaren appears to be in the fight for pole this weekend.
