Ferrari's promising start to the Formula One season continued on Friday as the glamour team dominated free practice at the Australian Grand Prix at a revamped Albert Park circuit. | Wheels24
Mercedes were well off the pace, with George Russell 11th quickest in the second session, more than 1.2 seconds adrift of Leclerc. His seven-times championship-winning team mate Hamilton was 13th quickest.
Red flags came out in both sessions as cars left debris on the resurfaced track, and a number skidded into the gravel. After posting the 13th quickest lap in first free practice, his Aston Martin lost power and ground to a halt 15 minutes before the end of the session, with smoke billowing out of the rear.
He later delighted fans by riding back to the team garage on a scooter, prompting an investigation by stewards for entering the track without permission.
