Lando Norris topped the first practice of McLaren in the Japanese Grand Prix, where Yuki Tsunoda began a strong start for the first time in Red Paul.
Just moments after getting out of the right track while he was fighting with McL39, Norris handed over a time of 1: 28,549 to defeat George Russell in Mercedes by 0.163 seconds.
Although the fastest time was, the driver’s championship leader had angered the team’s radio, where he complained about the tire granules during his long period of operation later in the session, while his teammate Oscar Baystiri was fifteen after he made errors in his attempts to fly.
Ferrari Charles Licerk and Luis Hamilton ranked third and fourth in a row, ahead of Max Versaben in fifth place, which was ten seconds before his new teammate Tsunoda in sixth place.
Tsunoda was significantly upgraded to Red Bull from Junior TEAM Racing Bulls only in two races of the season, where Liam Lawson reduced the number of times after more than three months after the Milton Keynes team chose Virstaben’s teammate in Versaben for the 2025 season.
It was just a tenth of the ruling world champion represented a encouraging start for Tesonoda in his home race, although it seems that there is a more important Gulf over a longer period in the session.
Speaking on the team’s radio at the end of the session, Tsunouda said: “I found the car interesting on the path. But it is fine. Good (session).”
Lawson was in the thirteenth place when he returned to the bull race, as he appeared for the 11th Grands Prix before he was quickly tracked in the Red Bull seat.
