The McLaren driver ended up 0.404s ahead of Max Verstappen as Red Bull's new era without Christian Horner begins this weekend in Belgium.

George Russell put his Mercedes fourth ahead of Charles Leclerc in his upgraded Ferrari and Kimi Antonelli. 

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton was a tenth slower than Leclerc as he finished seventh, ahead of Aston Martin duo Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso, and Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar, who completed the top-10. 

Yuki Tsunoda struggles to get to grips with Red Bull's RB21 show no sign of ending with the Japanese driver ending FP1 down in 18th.
