Barely more than a tenth and a half covered the top five fastest Formula 1 cars in second practice for the 2024 Italian Grand Prix, but no Red Bull featured in that picture thanks to the odd circumstances of FP2 at Monza
In the second practice for the 2024 Italian Grand Prix, the top five fastest Formula 1 cars were covered by barely more than a tenth and a half, with no Red Bull featuring in that picture due to odd circumstances at Monza. Max Verstappen’s qualifying simulation attempt was aborted, Kevin Magnussen’s crash disrupted the session, and forced most of the field to focus on race runs in the remaining time. Delays for George Russell and Sergio Perez affected their medium tire runs, thus putting them out of sync with their qualifying simulations. Scuderia Ferrari showed a significant advantage over one lap on the C4 tire, but it’s unsure how Red Bull fits into the qualifying picture due to Verstappen’s absence. In terms of race runs on the medium tire, Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes led the way, with Ferrari slipping back in the leading group led by a couple of tenths by Verstappen’s Red Bull.
