INTERLAGOS FP1: Albon the fastest, but finished in the wall

Alex Albon led most of the rain-spiced first free practice at Interlagos and eventually flew off the track.

Exercise began in heavy downpour, so there was little action on the track at the beginning. A few racers just braced themselves and tested a little planned settings and tire refresh for the wet track. Po 35 minuteswhen the trail started to dry out, sta Lewis Hamilton in Max Verstappen also tested the tires medium mixture, and were soon followed by others. Against at the end of trainingwhen the trail was almost dry, however broke. Albon he flew off the runway, crashed into a guardrail and took care of premature end training.

Results of today's first free practice

Result:

With time 1: 16.142 minutes si je Alex Albon on its debut on the wet track Interlagos provided the fastest lap first training. Like his followers, he is young Thai time reached on intermediates gum. With more than half a second behind, he came in second Valtteri Bottas, Sebastian Vettel however, he was third. Fourth Charles Leclerc he was already more than a second behind. He was fifth Carlos Sainz, sixth Nico Hulkenberg, his seventh teammate Daniel Ricciardo, he finished eighth Pierre Gasly, ninth second racer Toro Rossa Daniil Kvyatand rounds out the top ten Lando Norris, which was almost behind Albon 2,5 seconds.

Valtteri Bottas was second today, but the Finn was more than half a second behind Albon.

Od eleventh place onwards the racers were ranked as follows: Geroge Russell, Kevin Magnussen, Lance Stroll, Kimi Raikkonen, Antonio Giovinazzi, Nicholas Latifi, Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez.

Yes here still missing two great racers namely six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and future champion Max Verstappen. They are both this time caught a weak day, did not reach lap time at all and therefore adorns the back today’s first free practice.

Incidents:

When the track dried up a bit, some took a risk with the tires for dry conditions, but it was still too slippery, so we saw quite a few pirouettes in the double Senna S bend.

In front of extremely wet the tracks the racers were very careful at first. Later, tires could be fitted to the race cars for lighter rain (intermediates). The racers performed some slips in excursions from the trail, there were no major dramatic contributions. Then it's for concern behind the command desk Ferrari took care of Sebastian Vettel, who suddenly stopped in third gear but was dragged to the garage. Hag he got out, returned to the track a little later. Apparently it wasn’t anything serious.

Less fortunate was the fastest of today's first practice Alex Albon, who crashed into the protective fence before the end.

V the last five minutes however, the racers got to the point. Both Red Bull Racing they risked on an almost dry track with slick tires. But there was more to these tires too slippery. Max Verstappen also Daniil Kvyat they spun in double bend Senna, but they took her away without any problems. But he had a few more Albon, which is in the last bend slipped off the track and crashed into a protective fence, breaking it front suspension. The training was over.
