Charles Leclerc was fastest ahead of team-mate Carlos Sainz as Ferrari produced a dominant showing in a wet first practice session at the Emilia Romagna GP.

The world championship leader’s time of 1:29.402 was almost 0.9s clear of Sainz, with Max Verstappen a further 0.5s back for Red Bull, ahead of qualifying later on Friday in Imola.
