Hamilton – who leads Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel by 50 points in the championship race with just five races to run – set the pace on Pirelli’s soft rubber, finishing 0.446s quicker than Bottas, though the Briton was fortunate to avoid a high-speed collision early on when he encountered a slow-moving Pierre Gasly approaching the chicane.

Fortunately, Hamilton showed quick reactions to bypass the Toro Rosso driver - the incident is being investigated by the stewards - and he finished the session some way ahead of his nearest rivals, with Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo 0.662s off the pace in third – the Australian setting his quickest lap on the softer red-marked supersoft compound.

Behind the top three, Ferrari, who opted to run both drivers on the supersoft rubber, didn’t give much away in this opening segment of Free Practice. Kimi Raikkonen led their charge, the Finn finishing fourth, just 0.058s ahead of Sebastian Vettel, the German unable to manage a fully-clean flying lap.
