Following the rain-interrupted opening session, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc topped the second practice at the Hungarian Grand Prix. F1Technical’s senior writer Balázs Szabó reports on Free Practice 2 from the Hungaroring paddock.
While the opening practice was interrupted by rain and a heavy crash of Sergio Perez, drivers had much better conditions to cope with in the second one-hour session.
Drivers approached the late afternoon’s outing in very different fashion, using different run plans. In the end, five-time F1 race winner Charles Leclerc ended up fastest with a time 1m17.686s, narrowly beating McLaren’s Lando Norris with Pierre Gasly taking third for Alpine.
