World championship leader Oscar Piastri narrowly set the pace from McLaren team-mate Lando Norris in a competitive Practice One session as the grid's big teams all revealed upgrades to their cars at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
With historic Imola representing the first European round of the season - and the first of three grands prix in as many weeks to kick-off a crucial period of the campaign - this race weekend has long been identified as the one where teams were always likely to bring their first significant update packages of 2025.
And it was title leaders McLaren who took early honours on the timesheet courtesy of Piastri and Norris, although just 0.096s separated a top five which featured three other teams.
