Russell set the best time in second free practice for the 2022 Japanese Grand Prix ahead of Hamilton and Verstappen.
The second training had a similar course to the first in some respects. The riders went out on wet tires but after a while they switched to intermediates.
The second workout lasted 90 minutes. Pirelli wanted to test the tires for next year. Due to the wet track, the test was canceled, but the duration of the free practice session remained. The next opportunity to test the tires will be given to the Austin teams.
Mick Schumacher did not take part in training, crashed after the end of the first free practice, and Haas will change chassis for preventive reasons. Schumacher damaged the front wing, nose, suspension, rims and floor.
During the second free practice session, we saw several off-track exits – by Cunoda, Pérez and Leclerc, among others.
George Russell set the best time ahead of team mate Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
