Friday at the F1 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix is complete, and the two practice sessions saw Mercedes once again in form, but McLaren surprisingly usurping them in FP2.

So far in 2026, Mercedes have claimed every pole position and grand prix victory, but their main challengers each weekend seem to swap between Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren.

At the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Friday, McLaren's Lando Norris put in the fastest time in FP2, beating Mercedes' George Russell by nine thousandths of a second.

Oscar Piastri was third in the time sheets, ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who put in a time which was nine tenths faster than his ninth-place team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Russell's Mercedes team-mate and championship rival Kimi Antonelli rounded out the top five in FP2, having not taken part in FP1.

Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson came to a halt at the side of the track with a gearbox issue after just 15 minutes of FP2, causing a virtual safety car and ending his participation in the session.

Earlier in the day, Russell looked very comfortable around the circuit as the race weekend got underway, topping FP1 by over two tenths to nearest challenger Piastri.

There were seven reserve drivers taking part in the first practice session of the day, with the likes of Hamilton, Norris and Antonelli giving up their seats to rookie drivers.

Below is the full set of results from both of Friday's practice sessions.
