Carlos Sainz led Charles Leclerc in a Ferrari one-two in the first practice at the Australian Grand Prix.
The Spaniard clocked a 1m 19.806s on the softest tyres with his teammate Charles Leclerc 0.571s adrift. The championship leader ran into the gravel on his out-lap and then backed out of his second attempt.
Red Bull’s Sergio Perez was third after causing one of two red flags when he lost a piece of bodywork with Max Verstappen a couple of tenths behind though the reigning champion set his quickest lap much earlier in the session.
