It was during the night that this second free practice session took place, a test that is more representative of what awaits us in the future, since it is under these conditions that the qualifying session and the race will take place.<\/p>\n

The preseason testing dynamics continue.<\/h2>\n

The not-so-surprising surprise is called Fernando Alonso, who set the best time this afternoon in 1:30.907. This illustrates the good progress made by Aston Martin during the off-season on a car that could possibly compete for a podium finish, or even the championship. However, we did notice some minor reliability issues with the carbon parts.<\/p>\n

Red Bull once again dominated everyone by setting the second and third fastest times.<\/p>\n

Max Verstappen has suffered less from understeer, the problem mentioned by Helmut Marko this morning<\/a> appears to be resolved.<\/p>\n

Alpine has improved its performance compared to this morning. Mercedes, on the other hand, still struggles a little and continues to work on evolving the car.<\/p>\n

Finally, the incident that occurred on the pit lane between Norris and De Vries will be investigated by the FIA during this session.<\/p>\n

Struggling stroll<\/h2>\n

Lance Stroll seemed very uncomfortable with his broken wrist. We can even doubt his participation in the race on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Meet tomorrow at 12:05 on Canal+ for the third and final practice session. The qualifications will be available to watch from 15:40.<\/p>\n
