Mercedes once again stands out in the second free practice session of the Saudi Arabian GP, particularly relevant given that it took place at the same time as tomorrow’s qualifying will take place. Lewis Hamilton once again set the best time, this time ahead of his teammate, Valtteri Bottas, by just 61 thousandths. Third, surprisingly, Pierre Gasly at the wheel of the AlphaTauri. The Frenchman closed his PL2 very close to the silver arrows, with only 81 thousandths of a gap from Hamilton. Only fourth Max Verstappen, still less than two tenths behind his direct rival for the title.
The Alpine Friday evening was also very positive. The French team, after Fernando Alonso’s podium in Losail, finished this round at the top of the rankings, with the Spaniard fifth and his teammate Esteban Ocon excellent sixth. Seventh and tenth place instead for the two Ferraris, with Carlos Sainz who preceded Charles Leclerc by about two tenths, who then closed against the wall after an exit from the track. Once again, Sergio Perez is distant, at least in the qualifying simulation. In fact, the second Red Bull driver only finished ninth on his Friday.
