Replays show McLaren left a cover on an antenna on the front of Norris’s car.
McLaren are now telling Oscar Piastri to “keep low revs”. Not a smooth start for them.
Meanwhile Gabriel Bortoleto has a brief run up an escape run, then continues. Expect to see a lot of that in this session.
The FOM cameraman’s view of McLaren’s pit work is obscured by mechanics who didn’t appear to be doing any work and may have been stationed there just to hide what was being done.
Lando Norris joins the track but is told to pit so McLaren can “remove something”. Is this intentional or a possible “unsafe release situation”?
None of the teams are running junior drivers in their cars during this session, which is typical for this unusual, low-grip, high-speed street circuit where building up confidence is extremely important.
The first practice session for the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix is coming up next.
