George Russell set the fastest time in the first-ever Formula 1 session at the new Madring circuit in Madrid, leading a Mercedes one-two in FP1.

Lance Stroll withdrew from the Spanish Grand Prix due to worsening pain in his hand and wrist, related to a previous injury and surgery from a cycling accident. Despite his persistence to race, he ultimately needed medical treatment, leading to his absence from the race and a warning for Aston Martin for not informing the FIA sooner. His return depends on medical advice, with the next race in Canada potentially his comeback.
Lance Stroll was unable to race in the F1 Spanish GP due to hand and wrist pain from a recent medical procedure, and the team couldn't replace him because of strict regulations on driver changes after qualifying.
