The British Lando Norris (McLaren) This Friday is registered the fastest LAP in the free training session at the Shanghai Circuit, where this weekend will run at the China Grand Prix of Formula 1, the second during 2025.
McLaren and Lando, with the promise of Oscar Piastri, can confirm as the great favorites start And perhaps the championship on a more representative track where, at the moment, Ferrari continued without waking up, away from the orange, waiting for the Italian team to straighten its course in the next evolution.
The current leader of the classification left his best Chrono in 1: 31: 504, with Moneygasco Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) in second place, up to more than 4 tenths (+0,454). In the third place Norris, Australian Oscar Piastri, ended.
Just behind, with the fourth best time, the seven -day champion in the world is located, Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari). The British was the pilot that raised the most many times at the top of the podium in Shanghai, with 6 success under its credit.
Alonso, good top-8
The two Spanish of the grill, Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) and Carlos Sainz (Williams), ended in eighth and fifteen positions, respectively.
Williams, along Alebon and SainzThey post as great candidates to rule the central zone in the race rhythm, but the car’s difficulty to make the soft tire in the task classification can complicate things to Carlos, who wants to get to the 10 best ‘quali’ sprint.
On the other hand, many and have had endless analysis, pointing out that the Aston Martin is the 8th, 7th or 6th grid car. But as clearly in Australia, in a tight central zone, where the details are count and where there may be mistakes of many debutants, nothing can be predicted. And so far, on a route that Alonso wanted and where he had given the bell in 2023, Alonso wanted to fight for points from the Sprint appointment, waiting to see what the green car race rhythm was.
The session is marked with an Australian track removal Jack Doohan (Alpine) Following a breakdown in the direction, resulting in a red flag when there are about 13 minutes and the pilots are complicated with a soft tire, something they finally have only 6 minutes.
In fact, the current champion in the world, Max verstappen . The Dutch remained on -16th, fourth in the tail.
Should remember that this will be the only free training session of China Grand PrixSince this weekend is the first with the ‘sprint’ format of the season and this afternoon, surely, the classification for the LTANT race on Saturday will perform.
