It was again a strong start from the Haas’ Kevin Magnussen as he finished ninth in the standings and he was followed by McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo.

Alpine’s Esteban Ocon could only finish in the fifteenth spot and he was followed by Lance Stroll in the sixteenth spot. Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas, who crashed his car and damaged his rear wing finished in the seventeenth spot. Meanwhile, he was the only driver who crashed his car in the FP1 session.
🚩 RED FLAG 🚩
Valtteri Bottas loses the back-end of the car and hits the wall 💥

AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda didn’t have a good outing today as he only managed to finish in the eighteenth spot. He was followed by Mick Schumacher, who has a lot to do ahead of the Miami Grand Prix. He is yet to score points in the 2022 season and the home race for Haas could be the ideal place for him to do so.
Last but not the least, it was again an agonizingly painful day for William’s driver Nicholas Latifi who could only manage a twentieth place finish.
