The 20th round of the 2024 Formula 1 season begins with the sole practice for the Brazilian Grand Prix and you can follow all of the action here
F1 Brazilian GP Live Commentary and Updates - FP1Perez is first up but he had no sort of run through the middle sector as traffic forced him off the normal racing line.Piastri went wide through Turns 1 and 2 on his lap and ends up sixth, slower than Lawson who has gone fifth on a new set of mediums.
But neither can beat Bearman, who is just 0.014s down on Russell's time. What a lap from the Haas substitute. There's a new front wing going on both McLarens and a few other tweaks as both drivers try to find time. 12th and 16th may not be representative times but that's a second change during this session.Gasly has found improvement on his latest set of medium tyres - he's now sixth and ahead of Perez as the clock winds down.
It's noticeable this year how differently teams and drivers attack this single practice session now the sprint format has been changed.The fast right-handers of Ferradura and Laranjinha, more prosaically known as Turn and 7, are probably the best pick to watch the action from. You can visibly notice how hard the left-hand tyres are being worked here as drivers flick their cars through.
Sainz was trying to build a gap to his team-mate Leclerc at the same time and the Mercedes narrowly avoided hitting the back of the Ferrari.Leclerc had set the fastest first-sector but had to abort his lap, as Verstappen goes fastest overall with a 1m11.712s. Russell is within a tenth of that.What will happen here is that drivers will box every few laps for flap adjustments to try and find improvements. Any major set-up changes at this point would be a disaster in terms of track time.
