In this second practice session, Mercedes Driver George Russell was caught up in a collision with the wall. The Rising Star for Mercedes locked at turn 8 going straight into the wall and breaking the front wing. In Last year's Singapore GP, he crashed his car after challenging for victory. Mercedes and their Engineers are having a terrible weekend after their car's poor performance in the street circuit. Mercedes Changed George’s Front wing completely and allowed him to complete the practice session. 

The free practice session 2 is complete as McLaren's Lando Norris, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, and Carlos Sainz lead the pole. Mercedes Drivers Russell and Hamilton are sitting in 7th and 11th positions. Mercedes will be looking to turn the tides before Qualifying to reach the top 10. 

Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are in the 15th and 8th positions. Last year Max Verstappen won every race other than Singapore GP. But this year Red Bull is struggling with balance issues in their cars. Singapore track with many bumps and Kerbs is giving headache to the Red Bull team. 

More action is expected tomorrow as practice session 3 and Qualifying will take place. Lando Norris and McLaren with their car setup will be looking to win the next races and topple Max Verstappen's chances of becoming 4-time world champion this year.
