Overview
- Lando Norris led FP2 with Kimi Antonelli just 0.029 seconds behind and Charles Leclerc third.
- Race control stopped the session after a manhole cover lifted at Turn 17, sending cars to the garages and freezing the classification.
- Leclerc’s Ferrari stopped on track near the end with a suspected gearbox issue, which the team will investigate.
- Lewis Hamilton finished tenth after losing his final attempt to the red flag, with Max Verstappen also curtailed late.
- The session began on a damp surface with cooling night temperatures, and the interruption reduced valuable data gathering on a circuit that has seen similar manhole issues before.
