McLaren set impressive pace on Friday in Jeddah as the teams got their preparations for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix underway.
The drivers now have just one more hour to dial their cars in ahead of qualifying, which marks the first competitive session of the weekend.
Max Verstappen enters the round as the reigning pole-sitter and race-winner in Jeddah as he looks to bounce back from a trouble-filled event in Bahrain one week ago.
Team-mate Yuki Tsunoda showed strong pace on Friday, but his day ended in tears as a clash with the wall at the final corner cut short his run.
Ferrari and Mercedes languished further back in the field, and both will be hoping for improvements in the last hour of practice.
Will McLaren continue to run at the head of the pack, or can Red Bull close in?
