Pierre Gasly has topped the opening practice session from the British Grand Prix weekend, as drivers struggled for grip during the 90 minutes. The low grip Silverstone Circuit provided a challenge for many of the drivers, with plenty going for spins in the early stages of the session.
One red flag was called when Kimi Raikkonen stopped on the circuit with a power unit problem. Alfa Romeo confirmed during the session that it would need to be replaced prior to the start of FP2 later today.
Scuderia Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel finished fifth and sixth, behind the two Mercedes and Red Bull cars, but it’s still early days and the low grip, traffic and occasional showers did not create the ideal context for a clear picture regarding the pace of the drivers in qualifying and race simulation.
