Charles Leclerc topped the second practice session at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which was heavily interrupted due to two crashes. Carlos Sainz crashed into the inside barrier at Turn 3, leading to the suspension of the session for approximately 26 minutes. Nico Hulkenberg then crashed his Haas car exiting the first turn, bringing out the red flags again and reducing the session further. With only 16 minutes left when the session resumed, it was a frenetic quarter-hour of running. Max Verstappen, who skipped the earlier first practice session, was among the most eager to make the most of the remaining time. However, he could only manage third fastest, behind Leclerc and Lando Norris. Valterri Bottas claimed fourth, and Sergio Perez was fifth.
