Overview
- Lando Norris set the TL2 benchmark at 1:33.602, with Kimi Antonelli second and Charles Leclerc third.
- The FIA confirmed a poorly fixed manhole cover at Turn 17 came loose, prompting a red flag and shortening the session.
- Multiple yellow flags followed off-track excursions, as Gabriel Bortoleto reached an escape area and rejoined uninjured.
- Leclerc later stopped in an escape zone with a reported gearbox problem and ended his running early.
- Earlier in FP1, Leclerc led with a 1:34.802 on a 14°C, low-grip surface, while Norris leads the championship on 390 points ahead of Piastri, Verstappen and Russell.
