Charles Leclerc set an impressive pace in practice for the F1 Qatar Grand Prix ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris.

McLaren and Ferrari are battling out for the F1 constructors’ championship going into the final two races of the year, and it was those two teams at the front of the order in FP1.

Leclerc’s pace was blistering, 0.4s ahead of McLaren.

Ferrari were expected to struggle in Qatar given the high-speed nature and cooler track conditions. 

But based on FP1 at least, Ferrari look to have the edge in terms of pace.

Yuki Tsunoda and Valtteri Bottas impressed as they made it into the top six.
