Track temperature played a major role on this first day. But that didn't stop Mercedes from topping the timesheets, with Lewis Hamilton just as comfortable on a fresh track with little grip as on a warmer one.

Temperatures were disrupting tire performance, and the phenomenon became even more pronounced at the end of the first practice session.

Those places are up for grabs at Force India, Haas, Renault, Manor and Sauber, and the rumors are flying. Marcus Ericsson could well see himself behind the wheel of Force India.
