The first training in Qatar was marked by high temperatures and the collection of the first data. The order is not very representative.
During the training we saw several smaller trips. Mick Schumacher probably took care of the biggest one at the end of the training.
Riders will have to pay attention to the track limits on the Losail circuit. They are guarded in five places.
Technical problems were encountered after half of Lance Stroll’s training. He had to go back to the pits due to brake problems. The team also solved with Fernando Alonso. But he later returned to the track. Lando Norris then had to return to the pits after driving along the curb in the 15th turn.
Max Verstappen set the fastest time in the first practice.
