However, Russell’s best time was set on soft tyres - not Pirelli’s 2023 prototypes - as he carried out a normal programme during the first part of FP2 having sat out of first practice while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries deputised in his Mercedes.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon rounded out the top-three for Alpine, 1.2s down on Russell, ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton, who was quickest of the driv♔ers who exclusively ran on🔯 Pirelli’s unmarked test tyres.
The seven-time world champion was 1.5s slower than his Mercedes teammate but finished a tenth up on the Red Bull duo of home hero 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez and double world champion168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen, who were separated by just 0.009s.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc was seventh-fastest but caused a red flag when he&n🍌bsp;suffered a heavy crash at the Esses after losing control of his Ferrari and spinning rearwards into t෴he barriers.
The incident led to a 15-minute delay while barrier repairs were carried o⛦ut.
FP2 also ended a few minutes early when a stoppage for Alfa Romeo’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu in the final sector triggered a second ✱red flag.
Sainz, Alfa Romeo’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas and AlphaTauri’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly completed the top 10.
