Red Bull's Max Verstappen led the way in second practice on Friday, heading the Ferrari of title rival Charles Leclerc by almost nine tenths of a second.
Both drivers, however, will have to start the race near the back of the grid for exceeding their power unit allocation for this year.
McLaren's Lando Norris finished third-fastest in practice, albeit a second down on Verstappen, while Lance Stroll was an excellent fourth in the Aston Martin.
Fifth place went to Carlos Sainz in the second of the two Ferraris.
