Max Verstappen set the pace in first practice for the Japanese Grand Prix as Willams endured another Friday session to forget.<\/p>\n

Reigning champion Verstappen retired in Melbourne a fortnight ago but still leads the way in the drivers\u2019 standings and the Red Bull driver was once again topping the timesheets.<\/p>\n

Verstappen\u2019s time of one minute 20.056 seconds was enough to see him go quickest at Suzuka, with team-mate Sergio Perez his closest challenger 0.181 seconds back.<\/p>\n

A red flag half way through the session stopped running for 11 minutes as Logan Sargeant crashed off at turn two \u2013 further adding to the Williams woes.<\/p>\n

Sargeant sat out the Australian Grand Prix two weeks ago as team-mate Alex Albon took his car after destroying his own in a practice crash and the team currently have no spare chassis.<\/p>\n

Albon went 12th fastest after the action restarted, while Verstappen assumed his usual position as the car to beat.<\/p>\n

Carlos Sainz, who won in Australia last time out, was third-fastest for Ferrari ahead of the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, while the second Ferrari of Charles Leclerc was sixth.<\/p>\n

Local favourite Yuki Tsunoda was ninth for RB behind both the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso and McLaren\u2019s Oscar Piastri \u2013 whose team-mate Lando Norris rounded out the top 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
