Max Verstappen dominated Friday practice ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix topping both sessions to continue his recent fine form.

The double world champion, who won in Monaco last time out, was fastest by over seven tenths in FP1 from team-mate Sergio Perez, although his advantage was largely cut in FP2 by home favourite Fernando Alonso in the Aston Martin, with Nico Hulkenberg taking a surprise third for Haas.

An interesting development from practice though saw the return of porpoising, with plenty of drivers complaining of the issue.
