Half way the session Leclerc was still quickest and had improved it to 1:43.224 using a set of soft tyres. Verstappen was second on +0.612s and Pérez was third on +0.707s both on mediums. Fernando Alonso was 4th in the Alpine on +0.918 with soft tyres. The Spanish driver clocked the highest top speed of 342 kph on the main straight.

With 25 minutes to go Alex Albon had hit the wall coming out of turn 16 and had return to the pits to check out the damage on the FW44.

In the final stages of this second practice Leclerc was telling his team on the radio his engine lost power. The team responded that he just could push but had to switch to race mode.
