Mr. Vettel showed Ferrari’s strength by finishing the day with a time of 1 min, 20.396 secs, 2 tenths faster than Valtteri Bottas of MercedesAMG.

Max Verstappen was close behind with Red Bull, followed by MercedesAMG’ defending champion Lewis Hamilton.

“It was a good day’s work,” Mr. Vettel said. “We managed to get through our program, even if the conditions were not always ideal, because of the wind.”
