Charles Leclerc was 2nd fastest in the #16 Ferrari, 0.222s behind Norris.

Local hero Lewis Hamilton, who topped Practice 1, was 3rd fastest, 0.301s behind Norris in the #44 Ferrari.

Points leader Oscar Piastri was 4th in the #81 McLaren, 0.470s behind his teammate.

Max Verstappen in the #1 Red Bull sled rounded out the top-5, a massive 0.498s behind Norris and out to lunch. However, Verstappen had the fastest lap in the race simulation run.

Rookie Kimi Antonelli was 6th for Mercedes, 0.567s behind Norris.

Lawrence Stroll was 7th for Aston Martin, ahead of the Mercedes of George Russell, and the Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson in 10th.

Aston Martin only ran the upgrades on Alonso’s car earlier – now they are on Stroll’s car too, the Canadian has just finished an impressive P7. Could he get the better of Alonso tomorrow?

Hadjar and Lawson must fancy their chances of out-qualifying at least one Red Bull and might be a match for the other.

Bortoleto has picked up where he left off in Austria – he looks more than a match for Hulkenberg here.
