George Russell was fastest in Saturday's free practice in a strong headwind as champions Mercedes bounced back from a disastrous opening day at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton was fourth quickest in the other Mercedes as the team made the best of warmer dry conditions at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. The seven-time champion had said Mercedes 'underperformed as a team' on the opening day.
But it may not signal an upturn in race competitiveness in the 100-kilometre sprint race later on Saturday or Sunday's Grand Prix. McLaren's pair, Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo, did not appear. The team said Ricciardo had"an issue" on his car. Valtteri Bottas's Alfa Romeo was also up on the garage jacks.
