Jack Crawford: I enjoyed my first training session.

      On Friday in Mexico City Jack Crawford sat behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car in an official session for the first time. The American driver ran the first practice in place of Lance Stroll and was pleased with his performance.

      Fernando Alonso ran both practice sessions in the Aston Martin. The Spanish driver finished the second session in the top ten but urges not to rush to conclusions about the pecking order.

      Fernando Alonso (8th): "After the first practice we changed a few things on the car, and in the second session it handled better. Friday practice results don't reflect the real picture, so let's see if we can improve overnight and fight for good positions on Saturday."

      Lance Stroll (10th): "I always enjoy coming back to Mexico because they put on great race weekends here. The fans create an incredible energy, and I like the circuit.

      In the second practice the car handled fine, so I found a rhythm fairly quickly. We have some things to work on overnight. Let's see what we can achieve on Saturday."

      Jack Crawford (19th in the first session): "I really enjoyed my first official practice in Formula 1, and I'm pleased with what we managed to achieve in an hour.

      We completed the planned program in full. The priority was to try different things and compare the real car with the base simulator.

      I'm happy with the number of laps I completed and how quickly I found pace in the AMR25. I now have a two-month break from racing in Formula 2, so it's nice to be back in the cockpit."
