- Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad caused the first red flag after losing control at Turn 13, with recovery of the vehicle and barrier repairs taking almost 15 minutes to complete.
- Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton finished second and third, respectively, both trailing Antonelli by roughly a tenth of a second as the team demonstrated competitive pace.
- Reigning world champion Lando Norris endured a troubled session, missing most of the track time after a gearbox failure forced McLaren to perform a complete replacement on his car.
