LIVE Formula 1 | Max Verstappen has earned a lunch break after a productive morning with the fastest time

On his first appearance of the new Formula 1 year, Max Verstappen was ‘normally’ a lot faster than his competitors.

We will also follow the afternoon session in the live blog below from 1 p.m.
