Practice 1
Six rookies in the cars and a string of technical problems keep the garages busy. Plenty of stop-start running, and a red flag ends things a minute early.

Practice 2
Normal Friday work in the heat, with a virtual safety car and the odd spin. Short qualifying runs, then long runs that tell you little.

Practice 3
A hot, uneventful hour without stoppages. The final soft-tyre runs are tight at the top, so the closing quarter-hour is all you need.

Qualifying
Hundredths decide the cut-offs, and the order at the top keeps shuffling through the final runs. A crash and yellow flags make for a chaotic last minute.

Race
A tactical race on soft tyres where degradation and pit timing keep things open. Small gaps up front and genuine tension in the closing laps.
