Norris and Piastri RARSAN, Verstappen It stays 0.3 seconds … and behind One of Aston's cars, that is not that of Alonsobut that of Stroll one of the few who has stayed less than half a second of papaya in the Free 2 of the Austrian GP.
It is a big surprise that of Canadian And more seeing than eStá at 0.4 seconds and Alonso at 0.8, What invites you to think that it rolled with El more empty deposit than that of Spanish, although it is not something verified. The Fuel influence on this circuit is 0.4 seconds for every 10 kilos less In the tank. The truth will be known in the qualification, as always, but after the criticisms received in recent weeks, it is claimed with a good performance.
Max appears at the end
It seemed to be on the sixth, near Tsunoda, quite inspired by this circuit, but Verstappen gave a last stretch to place third and on Saturday it will be closer Oscar and Lando, perhaps playing pole with them.
While, Russell fell to the sixthafter being first in free 1 and Leclercin their first session of the weekend, it was placed Fifth and put a Hamilton that three tenths againHe complained as almost always “lack of rhythm”, with the Ferraridespite of the new soil that they have released Today in Spielberg. It does not seem that the situation of both will change much, nor that they are aspiring to Sunday's victory.
Aston, better than expected
To Stroll's room you have to add the Ninth from Alonso, what for the AMR25 is not bad, Taking into account that in 2023 and 2024 they suffered greatly in this layout of just five real curves. The unique return is its strength now And they can save the weekend before arriving home in Silverstone next week. There they expect new pieces, perhaps the last of the year for them, but that will be another story.
The Williams, in tail
What was not expected is See the two Williams so bad with soft tires. With the hard ones they defend and Sainz It was fifth after the first round, but the improvement is Nimia when placing the rubber of the Red Band of Pirelli, the C5 this weekend. Carlos He went down to the 17th and Albon ended 16th, But both more than a second from Norris, which does not increase anything brilliant for the rest of the sessions.
They have a lot of work and From the Spanish GP they seem to have lost the thread Completely those of Grove, who still have no improvement in the car, while the rest is taking steps.
Sauberfor example, has released a new floor this weekend and Bortoletosurely with the enhanced engine, something that Ferrari always does with one of its customers on Friday to try, got octavo. It is the first assault and will go down in the following sessions, but for the moment, nobody coughs to the McLaren.
Final times in the FP2 of the Austrian GP.
