The session, held in warm and dry conditions, was interrupted midway through after F1 newcomer Nicholas Latifi misjudged the exit of a turn and spun into a protective tire wall. The Canadian driver was unharmed but his Williams car had to be lifted off the track.

Williams struggled last season and finished last in the constructors' championship, scoring one point through former driver Robert Kubica. (AP)
