McLaren's pace appeared to show no early ill-effects from the clampdown on flexi front wings as Lando Norris headed Max Verstappen in first practice at the Spanish Grand Prix.
Five days after winning the prestigious Monaco GP for the first time to inject fresh impetus into his world championship challenge, Norris was immediately back at the head of the timesheet at a scorching Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya via an impressive fastest time on soft tyres of 1:13.718.
Norris finished 0.367s clear of Red Bull's Verstappen and 0.378s ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, whose Barcelona weekend began in encouraging fashion on single-lap pace.
