Oscar Piastri fastest from Lewis Hamilton in rain-hit second Japanese GP practice
Oscar Piastri leads the 🐬way in a rain-hit sec🍃ond practice with a distinct lack of running.
McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri ended up fastest in a rain-hit practice session that featured very little running at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.
Piastri set the pace with a late flurry of soft tyre lap🌠s once the track had dried enough to switch to slicks for the closing minutes of second practice, with the Australian heading Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes by 0.501 seconds.
Charles Leclerc was third-fastest b🦩ut with a time that was over four seconds🍎 down on Piastri’s benchmark.
After dry running in FP1, a downpour prior to second practice ཧleft the track damp but not initially wet enough to🧸 use intermediate or wet tyres.
A combination of teams not wanting to take risks on one of the most challenging circuits of the calendar, and being unwilling to burn through sets of tyres which may be needed later in the weeke⭕nd, was behind tꦆhe lack of track action.
With 30 minute🍰s of the session gone, drivers finally stated to emerge on intermediate tyres, with the RB pair of Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo initially setting the pace.
Tsunoda and Ricciardo would go on to finish fourth and fifth, ahead of Lando Norris, who had a wobble at 🧔Turn 1 as he took sixth, ahead of Ferrari’s Carlos 🌄Sainz and Alpine’s Esteban Ocon.
🍸Haas’ Kevin Magnussen was the only other driver to have a registered lap time.
The Red Bulls of Max Verstappဣen and Sergio Perez, Aston Martin pair Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, and Mercedes’ George Russell were among the seven drivers who did not go out at all.
Logan Sargea😼nt had been ruled out of the session after sufferin👍g damage to his Williams during a heavy FP1 shunt.
Ricciardo completed nine laps - the m🥂ost of anyone - but has started the weekend on the backfoot after missing first practice so 𓆉that Red Bull junior Ayumu Iwasa could run.
