We have only just started in Barcelona and already the first driver has found the limits of the track. Nikita Mazepin ran wide in turn eight. The Haas driver clearly does not have his car under control after three Grand Prix.

Clearly, grip is still a long way off for Haas and although Mazepin took it easy in his first few laps, he still slid off the track. Luckily for the American team, Mazepin managed to avoid the wall and was able to continue the session without major damage. With his first spin in the first five minutes of FP1, it remains to be seen how often the Haas driver will go off track this weekend.
