It is advantage to Lando Norris after Free Practice 1 for the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix heading into the more representative FP2.
Norris clocked the fastest time from Pierre Gasly and Lewis Hamilton, in an upgraded Ferrari, but times in FP1 do not mean that much.
Held in daylight with track temperatures pushing 50 degrees Celsius, the field featuring six rookie drivers, struggled for grip throughout.
The likes of Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and George Russell did not take part in the session, handing over to rookie drivers to fulfil the first of two mandatory rookie FP1 sessions.
All will return to the cars for FP2, held as day transitions to night in Sakhir.
