First practice: Hamilton leads Ferrari 1-2 at Monza GP | OneFootball

The Briton led the first practice session of the Italian GP, escorted by his teammate Leclerc and the Spaniard Sainz with Williams; Paul Aron finished 20th with Colapinto's Alpine.

Without Franco Colapinto, the first official test of the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix was completed at the Autodromo Nazionali de Monza and saw the Ferraris topping the leaderboard with the Briton Lewis Hamilton leading after marking 1m20s117 and his teammate Charles Leclerc escorting him by 169/1000, showing an interesting performance of the SF25s, on the 5.793 meters of the mythical scenario.

Behind both red units was Carlos Sainz's Williams (until last year a driver for the Maranello team) at 0s533, followed by Max Verstappen's Red Bull (at 0s575), local Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes (at 0s823), Lando Norris's McLaren (who gave the most laps: 28, and was at 0s904), Alexander Albon's Williams (at 0s956), George Russell's Mercedes (at 0s993) and Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin (at 0s997).

In this session, Paul Aron was designated by the Alpine F1 Team to drive the car that Argentine Franco Colapinto is racing; the Estonian driver completed a total of 23 laps (10 with medium compound tires and 13 with soft ones), went off track without consequences at the Della Roggia curve and made his best lap 1m22s153, finishing 20th and exactly half a second from Frenchman Pierre Gasly who ranked 18th (26 laps: 17 with medium and 9 with soft).

Starting at 12:00, the second practice will take place and then Colapinto will sit back in the A525 to focus on the rest of the weekend on the Monza track, where he made his F1 debut last year.
