It was a rather quiet session where the drivers sought to push the limits of the track. The real spectacle took place in the paddock with a few stars such as Brad Pitt and Jerry Bruckheimer. However, the drivers were still able to test the Pirelli 2023 tires.<\/p>\n<p>Under the radiant sun of Austin, all drivers except Charles Leclerc, Valtteri Bottas, and Daniel Ricciardo drove with the new tires. It should be noted that these three drivers had stepped aside for rookies and Antonio Giovinazzi during the first session. The classification could be divided into two parts: one for the &#8220;laggers&#8221; and the second for the testers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Lewis Hamilton hits the kerb HARD \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n<p>He makes a save and continues on, but that was close! \ud83d\ude2f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/USGP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#USGP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/F1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#F1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8o0U0OlLbi\">pic.twitter.com\/8o0U0OlLbi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Formula 1 (@F1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/F1\/status\/1583590877838004224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Charles Leclerc set the fastest time in 1&#8217;36.810, ahead of Valtteri Bottas (+0.715s) and Daniel Ricciardo (+0.817s). And the fastest with the 2023 Pirelli tires was Carlos Sainz, followed by Mick Schumacher and Lando Norris. On the other hand, Max Verstappen positioned himself in 7th place. With such performance gaps, it was unnecessary to consider the ranking of this session for Sunday&#8217;s race.<\/p>\n<h2>The Pirelli tires tested in 2023.<\/h2>\n<p>Cancelled due to rain in Suzuka, the Pirelli 2023 tires could finally be tested during this second free practice session. Instead of driving for an hour, the drivers had the opportunity to take to the track for an extra thirty minutes to gather as much race pace data as possible for Pirelli. It should be noted that teams and drivers hope that these tires will be improved to provide better grip and reduce understeer.<\/p>\n<h2>The ranking of the second practice session.<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table class=\"table\">\n<tr>\n<td><strong><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Driver(s)<\/td>\n<td>\u00c9curies<\/td>\n<td>Times<\/td>\n<td>Laps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>1<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Charles Leclerc<\/td>\n<td>Ferrari<\/td>\n<td>1.36.810<\/td>\n<td>36<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Valtteri Bottas<\/td>\n<td>Alfa Romeo<\/td>\n<td>1.37.525<\/td>\n<td>37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>3<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Daniel Ricciardo<\/td>\n<td>McLaren<\/td>\n<td>1.37.627<\/td>\n<td>40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>4<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Carlos Sainz<\/td>\n<td>Ferrari<\/td>\n<td>1.38.232<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>5<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Mick Schumacher<\/td>\n<td>Haas<\/td>\n<td>1.39.507<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>6<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Lando Norris<\/td>\n<td>McLaren<\/td>\n<td>1.39.547<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>7<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Max Verstappen<\/td>\n<td>Red Bull<\/td>\n<td>1.39.575<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>8<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Lewis Hamilton<\/td>\n<td>Mercedes<\/td>\n<td>1.39.698<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>9<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Pierre Gasly<\/td>\n<td>AlphaTauri<\/td>\n<td>1.39.840<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>10<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Sergio Perez<\/td>\n<td>Red Bull<\/td>\n<td>1.39.852<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>11<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Kevin Magnussen<\/td>\n<td>Haas<\/td>\n<td>1.40.084<\/td>\n<td>24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>12<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Yuki Tsunoda<\/td>\n<td>AlphaTauri<\/td>\n<td>1.40.178<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>13<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>George Russell<\/td>\n<td>Mercedes<\/td>\n<td>1.40.562<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>14<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Zhou Guanyu<\/td>\n<td>Alfa Romeo<\/td>\n<td>1.40.664<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>15<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Lance Stroll<\/td>\n<td>Aston Martin<\/td>\n<td>1.40.806<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>16<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Esteban Ocon<\/td>\n<td>Alpine<\/td>\n<td>1.41.310<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>17<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Fernando Alonso<\/td>\n<td>Alpine<\/td>\n<td>1.41.334<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>18<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Alexander Albon<\/td>\n<td>Williams<\/td>\n<td>1.41.853<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>19<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Sebastian Vettel<\/td>\n<td>Aston Martin<\/td>\n<td>1.41.857<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>20<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Nicholas Latifi<\/td>\n<td>Williams<\/td>\n<td>1.42.317<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Leclerc was the fastest in this second practice session of the United States Grand Prix, followed by Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo.
