The session ended with the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc fastest followed by his teammate Sebastian Vettel.

This was against the rules and as a result Gasly was forced to start the race from the pit lane. At the end of the session Pierre Gasly was instructed visually to bring the car to be weighed, however he missed the visual cue and continued to his garage where the mechanics performed work on the car, changing the tyres in a practice pit-stop. Daniil Kvyat also crashed at turn 7 with 25 minutes to go. The first major incident of second practice was Lance Stroll crashing 15 minutes into the session at turn 2. The session therefore ended with only the two Ferraris setting lap times with Charles Leclerc ahead of Sebastian Vettel. Williams determined Russell's chassis needed replacing meaning he would not be allowed to run in the second practice session. As a result of these two incidents, race director Michael Masi cancelled the session, in order to check the other manholes on the circuit and to check the damage to the pedestrian bridge. The truck towing Russell's car back to the pit lane then hit a pedestrian bridge, leaking hydraulic fluid onto the track and Russell's car. The cover, between turns two and three, appeared to be loosened when Charles Leclerc's Ferrari passed over it earlier. The first practice session ended after only 12 minutes (the session was scheduled for 90) after the Williams car driven by George Russell was badly damaged when it hit a loose drain cover. As this was his third set of control electronics he was given a 10 place grid penalty.

In the lead up to the weekend it was announced that Alfa Romeo driver Antonio Giovinazzi would be receiving new control electronics for the Grand Prix.

The drivers and teams were the same as the season entry list with no additional stand in drivers for either the race or practice.
