Lewis Hamilton led a Mercedes one-two as drivers struggled for grip in the first practice session for the French Grand Prix.
After the first 90 minutes of running at Paul Ricard, Hamilton’s best effort was half a second off the best time seen in the same session last year.
Lando Norris ended the session less than two-hundredths of a second shy of Gasly, but complaining that his tyres were destroyed.
These were led by reserve driver Nicholas Latifi, though his best effort was a full second away from the next car.
