Lewis Hamilton has topped the second free practice session. The Briton was narrowly faster than Sainz and Norris with a time of 1:13:264. Verstappen struggled throughout the session and finished fifth. See full results.
Who's this old has been guy that should retire and has just shown all these super young guns a clean exhaust pipe?
Yes I know it's only practice but still this guy shouldn't be up there according to the consensus on here.
Dang...this RB car has lost all its dominance! Struggling to keep within the top 3 teams at this rate! But man, it is exciting and interesting to watch! Also, Red Bull has always been about the race, as opposed to quali, but they need to get their act together quickly!
Very curious about Mercedes and if/how they can keep this up! There is a good chance that Toto may wait for a while before putting Kimi Antonelli in that second Mercedes car! ?
Top 16 all within 1s.
And with Lewis going fastest even in practice, I reckon Red Bull will definitely want to question Mercedes wing now. Especially since Verstappen doesn't seem to be able to make up fact that the car isn't quite to his liking in Practice 2 either. Not quite how he likes it and now is 5th behind Gasly.
They'll need to get it together for quali and race otherwise they're in for a very tough season.
