Pierre Gasly was the surprise pacesetter in first practice ahead of this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix; however, the conditions were very unrepresenative.
Second practice is the most important of the three practice sessions, due to it taking place at a similar time of day to qualifying and the race.
McLaren, Red Bull and Ferrari all have upgrades at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit and will be eager for some strong running in FP2.
Lando Norris was closest to Gasly in first practice, having quickly settled into a rhythm after a frustrating performance in Bahrain.
