Lando Norris dominates red flagged FP2 of Hungarian Grand Prix 2024, check final results

Lando Norris delivered an impressive performance during the FP2 session at the Hungarian Grand Prix, securing the fastest lap time ahead of Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz. This strong showing by Norris hints at a competitive weekend for McLaren as they continue to fine-tune their car's setup.

However, the session wasn't without its drama. Charles Leclerc, teammate to Sainz, brought the session to an abrupt halt with an early red flag. The Monegasque driver spun out on the exit of the high-speed Turn 4, resulting in significant damage to both the front and rear of his Ferrari as he collided with the barriers. This incident cut short his session, leaving him with just 45 minutes of running time.

Despite the disruption, Sergio Perez and George Russell managed to post competitive times, finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Their performance highlights the ongoing battle between Red Bull and Mercedes as they vie for crucial data and track position.

The rest of the top 10 was a mix of experienced and emerging talents. Kevin Magnussen in the Haas showed solid pace, while Lewis Hamilton continued to push the limits of his Mercedes. Daniel Ricciardo, Alexander Albon, and Fernando Alonso also secured spots in the top 10, rounding out a diverse and competitive field at the Hungaroring.

As teams analyze the data from FP2, anticipation builds for the qualifying session and the race itself. The early drama and competitive lap times set the stage for what promises to be an exciting and unpredictable Hungarian Grand Prix.
