Almost all of the drivers in the top 10 worked with the super soft tyres. The only exception were the Haas drivers who tried the soft compound.
Vettel had a smooth session while Hamilton had some problems. There was some smoke from his Mercedes. When he got back to the pits, the mechanics formed a human wall in front of the car. They found out a dislodged breather pipe and the team announced there were no issues with the power unit.

There were no serious incidents during the session. There’s still a chance for rain later in the day and during qualifying.
