Lando Norris was fastest during Friday's disrupted FP1 in Melbourne, a session that was temporarily brought to a halt following a heavy crash for Alex Albon.
The Williams driver would bring out the red flags with around 20 minutes to go after taking too much kerb in Turn 6, forcing him into a snap that would send him into the wall at Turn 7.
