==Practice Overview==
===FP1===
===FP2===
Following the session, Bottas' gearbox was changed. Like with Hamilton's unscheduled gearbox change in Austria, Bottas did not meet the six consecutive Grands Prix before the allowance of a new gearbox, therefore receiving a five-place grid penalty. On Saturday, Daniel Ricciardo was confirmed to take an unscheduled gearbox change as well, also meaning a five-place grid penalty. Fernando Alonso was also confirmed to start from the back with multiple grid penalties for having additional power unit components fitted to his car.
