McLaren dominate Bahrain Grand Prix practice as Verstappen struggles

Piastri posted a quickest lap of Imin 30.505s with his teammate Lando Norris only a tenth of a second adrift.

The chasing pack was led by the Mercedes of George Russell albeit over five tenths of a second back in an ominous display of force by McLaren at a track where the Bahraini-backed team have yet to win in 21 visits.
