RED BULL CONCLUSIONS

Checo Pérez reflects on his performance in the session. “In general we have made a good step forward from free practice 1 to free practice 2. I have not completed any good lap. In the wet it was slippery a lot, especially in the painted areas”

ALONSO, THE BEST

This is how the complete classification of a second free practice session where chaos and bad weather reigned. Alonso was the smartest in the class and set the fastest time in the morning. Leclerc and Verstappen followed.

END THE SESSION!

Period and end to this free practice session 2! The last pilots on the dangerous asphalt, to take refuge from the rain. It has been a session marked by bad weather and the scares of several drivers in Albert Park.

THE PILOTS ARE LOWERING

With less than ten minutes remaining to reach this last free practice session, some drivers are already getting out of the car. Carlos Sainz ends his morning and Leclerc too. Times do not improve.

Except for surprise, the times will remain as they are with the intermediate tires and the pressure of the rain and Fernando Alonso will continue setting the best record of the session. It does not seem that it will stop falling water on the circuit.

ALONSO, WITH CAUTION

Fernando Alonso adds several laps with his Aston Martin moving with some calm due to the rain. Nobody wants to make a mistake like the one you had Lance Stroll, companion of the Spanish driver, whose car skidded and he lost control of the vehicle.

IT RAINS, AND A LOT

The rain makes it difficult for the drivers to drive in this session. Some drivers ride the soft tire and Verstappen and Sainz try the intermediate, being very careful not to cause an accident.

This is how things are in the middle of the session, with difficulties on the asphalt and visibility problems for the drivers. Fernando Alonso is still in first position of these free. “It makes no sense to drive like this,” says Charles Leclerc on his radio.

ALONSO, READY TO ROLL

Fernando Alonso he is about to get back on his Aston Martin to measure himself against the other drivers and continue very close to the Red Bulls. Everything indicates that there will be rain on the circuit, which could make driving difficult.

There was a red flag for eight minutes after the teams lost GPS signal and they stopped having control over the position of the cars, which made traffic management very dangerous. Sainz had a walk on the grass of the circuit and the asphalt is complicated because it has rained in the previous days.
