Alonso showed he didn't miss much in FP1 with P8, as a red-faced Norris and Giovinazzi complete the top 10.
A disappointing session for Perez ends with the second Red Bull driver only 11th, and perhaps facing an uphill task to disrupt the Mercedes and among the podium places.
Ferrari didn't really show its hand today - Sainz 13th and Leclerc 16th leaves us with plenty of questions after the team's strong showing last weekend, including that thrilling Leclerc fightback.
That'll be all from us on the Live blog today, but make sure you tune in tomorrow morning shortly before 11am BST for FP3 and 2pm BST for qualifying. Can Verstappen turn the tables and continue his recent run of form, or will Mercedes reclaim pole for the first time since Barcelona? We'll see you tomorrow to find out.
