Also in the second training we saw minor problems, hours and trips off the track. But even the bigger ones came. Valtteri Bottas missed the second practice after an accident in the first practice.
Max Verstappen did not hit the track until the middle of training. Red Bull changed the transmission in his car. But the return of the Red Bull rider was more like a nightmare. Verstappen had driving problems, there were even flames at the brakes. After one lap he drove to the mechanics and did not leave for the rest of the training.
Carlos Sainz is unlucky in Miami as well. After a defect in the first practice, hours and an impact on the wall came in the second practice. The training for Sainze ended prematurely and red flags flew on the track.
Latifi took care of the second and third red flags, which stopped on the track.
George Russell set the fastest time in the second practice.
