In the more representative session for qualifying simulations and outright pace, championship leader Oscar Piastri was fourth on the timesheets having sat out first practice to allow Alex Dunne to complete a rookie session as obliged by the championship's regulations.

FP1's fastest driver Lewis Hamilton was fifth in the second Ferrari, but well in the hunt within two tenths of Norris, with Max Verstappen the lead Red Bull in sixth.

Alex Albon ensured Williams had two cars in the top seven ahead of Nico Hulkenberg, who proved Sauber has some pace to burn this weekend.

Yuki Tsunoda made the top 10 ahead of George Russell, who returned to the track after his Mercedes stopped in FP1 with a hydraulic issue.

Russell's teammate Kimi Antonelli triggered the only red flag of the session after spinning at the second Lesmo, continuing his recent struggles.
