Ferrari were super quick in the first session. It will be interesting to see if the other teams manage to close the gap this session. The times aren't indicative though as we won't know the kind of fuel loads the teams are running with. Session starting in 5 minutes

Session starting at 11:00 AM local time. It is cloudy with a temperature of 20 degrees.
