Few laps, accidents, red flag interruptions, George Russell's success. In short, this was what happened in the first free practice session of the Mexican Grand Prix.
Fernando Alonso, who had already recovered but was still following from the pits, and five youngsters formed the grid for FP1. Oliver Bearman at Scuderia Ferrari, Robert Schwartzman at Stake, Felipe Drugovich at Aston Martin, Patricio O'Ward at McLaren and Andrea Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes had the opportunity to get back behind the wheel. The laps had barely begun when the red flag was already raised due to debris on the track. Antonelli managed to get through it, and luckily for the young Italian, his car was not damaged. The session had barely resumed when it had to be interrupted again, this time Bearman and Alexander Albon had a disagreement, which led to a serious accident. Albon stopped his car, but Ferrari also suffered. And what else happened in the session? Nothing really special, George Russell won this stage ahead of Carlos Sainz and Yuki Tsunoda.
