Plenty of work. Both Scuderia Ferrari drivers had plenty of items on the worksheet: they ran various different fuel levels and also evaluated the Pirelli C5, the softest tyre which was not used for last week’s Styrian GP, as well as trying a new construction tyre, which will be used for the first time at the next round in Silverstone. Charles and Carlos each did 33 laps, their quickest times being very similar: 1’05”409 for the Monegasque and 1’05”431 for the Spaniard.

FP2. The cars will be back on track at 15 for the second free practice session.
