Follow all the action live from Free Practice 2 ahead of the 2025 F1 Mexican Grand Prix from Mexico City.
Nine drivers who skipped FP1 at the Mexico City Grand Prix for rookies are set to return to their respective cockpits for the second hour of running at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The initial session was quiet and led by Charles Leclerc, with Oscar Piastri, the lone F1 drivers’ title contender in the mix, placing fourth. Max Verstappen and Lando Norris aim to close the gap to the Australian swiftly, both this weekend and in the title fight, emphasizing the importance of FP2. Being conducted three hours after the Sunday grand prix launch, FP2 will be the most crucial practice session for teams and drivers to fine-tune their cars. In Mexico City’s high altitude, grip is minimal, making every lap crucial, as cars run setups akin to Monaco but with downforce levels closer to Monza.
