British rookie Arvid Lindblad crashed his Racing Bulls in Friday practice at the Spanish Grand Prix shortly after setting an impressive fourth fastest time.

The 19-year-old lost control into Turn 13, and slid sideways into the wall, damaging his front and rear suspension and breaking his front wing.

Lindblad ended the session fourth fastest, just 0.228 seconds behind pace-setter Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes in Madrid.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were second and third fastest, just over 0.1secs behind Antonelli.

Antonelli's team-mate George Russell, who trails the Italian by 66 points in the championship, was fifth fastest ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen and McLaren's Oscar Piastri.

World champion Lando Norris did not set a time in his McLaren because of a gearbox problem.

The Madring has come through its first test on Friday, with just one red-flag period in second practice. The Racing Bulls mechanics will be working hard to get Arvid Lindblad back up and running for third practice tomorrow, while McLaren will hoping Lando Norris doesn't miss out on any more valuable track time before the all-important qualifying session.

Mercedes are looking fast in Madrid already, topping both sessions on today. But Ferrari aren't too far behind, and with the walls so close here, anything can happen in a one-lap shootout.

Thanks for joining us, folks. We'll be back from 11:15 BST on Saturday for the final hour of practice.

Then all eyes will be on qualifying, which starts at 15:00.

Friday is complete in Madrid, with only one red flag making an appearance across the two practice sessions.

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli finishes top of the pile in second practice with a time of 1:33.662, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc just behind the italian Mercedes driver, 0.113 seconds off the pace.

The session is slipping away from Lando Norris. The defending world champion didn't even get a time on the board before his gearbox hit a problem, and McLaren have been busy working on his car ever since.

Fernando Alonso gives a big thumbs up to a fellow driver at the banked La Monumental. That digit isn't a friendly one, though, as the Aston Martin driver is blocked by another competitor.

Charles Leclerc is also hindered by the Cadillac of Sergio Perez, but it does seem like the Mexican was trying to get out of the way of the Ferrari man.

Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri needs the run-off area - there's not much of it at the Madring - to turn his McLaren around after running wide at Turn 7.
