George Russell caused a notable incident when he crashed due to a suspected technical failure, ending his day early. The test faced multiple stoppages, including a water leak and a halted car. Carlos Sainz initially topped the morning running, but Esteban Ocon eventually set the fastest time. Other notable performances came from Pato O’Ward, Frederik Vesti, and Sergio Perez.
