Oscar Piastri roared back during the penultimate race weekend of the season, beating team-mate Lando Norris in FP1 ahead of the competitive action getting underway later on Friday.

Piastri topped a pretty uneventful FP1 by just over five hundredths of a second, with Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz the surprise entrants into the top four.

Max Verstappen could only put in a time quick enough for sixth, while Lewis Hamilton was all the way down in 12th in his Ferrari.

With this weekend being a sprint weekend, FP1 was the one and only practice session of the weekend, and drivers and teams managed to get a full hour of practice, with no disruptions.

It was also the first session of a weekend that could well be Lando Norris' championship-crowning weekend, with the Brit just needing to outscore championship rivals Piastri and Verstappen by two points throughout the event.

Some drivers were struggling with strong wind gusts which seemed to be very inconsistent at different parts of the track, with Norris, Piastri and others running wide on a number of occasions.
