It was Lance Stroll who led the way in FP1 at the Chinese Grand Prix, topping the timesheets ahead of McLaren's Oscar Piastri.
Lando Norris was on course to take top spot but bailed out of his best lap due to traffic in the final sector.
Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez were third and fourth for Red Bull, while a number of teams - like Mercedes and Ferrari - didn't show their full potential in practice.
