He is ahead of Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso. Nyck de Vries is fourth ahead of Nico H\u00fclkenberg. Yuki Tsunoda is last with a time of 1&#8217;35&#8221;708.<\/p>\n<p>Red Bull and Mercedes encountered hydraulic problems, which even pushed the German team to retire more than an hour before the end of the session. Other teams also stopped for a long time in the garage, namely McLaren and Haas.<\/p>\n<p>Logan Sargeant, very disciplined, drove all day. He completed 154 laps, setting the record for the second day of testing.<\/p>\n<p>However, it should be noted that we shouldn&#8217;t draw too many conclusions from these three days of testing, as teams take advantage of this time to make adjustment experiments, particularly with the ride height, which explains, for example, the phenomenon of porpoising that we observe more in some cases than others.<\/p>\n<h2>The ranking for this Friday<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table table-hover\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">N\u00b0<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Driver<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Team<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Times<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Gap<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Laps<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Guanyu<\/td>\n<td>Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN<\/td>\n<td>1:31.610<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>133<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>Verstappen<\/td>\n<td>Oracle Red Bull Racing<\/td>\n<td>1:31.650<\/td>\n<td>+0.040<\/td>\n<td>47<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>Alonso<\/td>\n<td>Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team<\/td>\n<td>1:32.205<\/td>\n<td>+0.595<\/td>\n<td>130<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>De Vries<\/td>\n<td>Scuderia AlphaTauri<\/td>\n<td>1:32.222<\/td>\n<td>+0.612<\/td>\n<td>74<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>H\u00fclkenberg<\/td>\n<td>Haas F1 Team<\/td>\n<td>1:32.466<\/td>\n<td>+0.856<\/td>\n<td>68<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>Sainz<\/td>\n<td>Scuderia Ferrari<\/td>\n<td>1:32.486<\/td>\n<td>+0.876<\/td>\n<td>70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>Sargeant<\/td>\n<td>Williams Racing<\/td>\n<td>1:32.549<\/td>\n<td>+0.939<\/td>\n<td>154<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>Leclerc<\/td>\n<td>Scuderia Ferrari<\/td>\n<td>1:32.725<\/td>\n<td>+1.115<\/td>\n<td>68<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>Piastri<\/td>\n<td>McLaren F1 Team<\/td>\n<td>1:33.175<\/td>\n<td>+1.565<\/td>\n<td>74<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>Gasly<\/td>\n<td>BWT Alpine F1 Team<\/td>\n<td>1:33.186<\/td>\n<td>+1.576<\/td>\n<td>59<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>Magnussen<\/td>\n<td>Haas F1 Team<\/td>\n<td>1:33.442<\/td>\n<td>+1.832<\/td>\n<td>67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>Ocon<\/td>\n<td>BWT Alpine F1 Team<\/td>\n<td>1:33.490<\/td>\n<td>+1.880<\/td>\n<td>49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<td>Russell<\/td>\n<td>Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport<\/td>\n<td>1:33.654<\/td>\n<td>+2.044<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>14<\/td>\n<td>Perez<\/td>\n<td>Oracle Red Bull Racing<\/td>\n<td>1:33.751<\/td>\n<td>+2.141<\/td>\n<td>76<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>15<\/td>\n<td>Hamilton<\/td>\n<td>Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport<\/td>\n<td>1:33.954<\/td>\n<td>+2.344<\/td>\n<td>72<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>16<\/td>\n<td>Norris<\/td>\n<td>McLaren F1 Team<\/td>\n<td>1:35.522<\/td>\n<td>+3.912<\/td>\n<td>65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>17<\/td>\n<td>Tsunoda<\/td>\n<td>Scuderia AlphaTauri<\/td>\n<td>1.35.708<\/td>\n<td>+4.098<\/td>\n<td>85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of the second day of testing, discover the summary of everything that happened on the track this Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":111,"featured_media":34087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[16,324],"class_list":["post-4271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-16","tag-essais-hivernaux"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
