Silver Arrows dominate in FP2! Lindblad crashes into the wall
In the second free practice session, Mercedes and especially George Russell are in a league of their own.
Racing Bulls driver Arvid Lindblad causes the incident of the day in the second free practice session.
The Brit hits the wall in the middle sector, the narrow track section in the old town, causing a red flag and a multi-minute interruption.
The accident does not prevent Mercedes' Silver Arrows from demonstrating their dominance in Formula 1. George Russell sets the best time with 1:43:347. Teammate Kimi Antonelli (+0.552 seconds) follows in second place with a respectable gap behind him, whose car has been repaired after his early exit in FP1.
