Lando Norris topped the second free practice session for the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, ahead of title rival Max Verstappen, continuing his strong form from FP1. His 1:23.083s lap was over three tenths faster than Verstappen’s time, with George Russell in the Mercedes close behind. There was a minor incident early on when Verstappen was on a cool down lap and didn’t see Norris approaching, leading to friction between the two drivers. Despite the investigation, no further action was taken by the stewards. The session showcased some promising performances from Oliver Bearman, Nico Hulkenberg, and Gabriel Bortoleto. The rankings also saw surprises like Oscar Piastri finishing lower than expected, setting the stage for an exciting race weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit.
