Lance Stroll has concluded Friday from the Silverstone Circuit on top of the time sheet, heading Red Bull’s Alexander Albon by less than a tenth of a second.
Taking place in warm, gusty conditions, it was a tricky session for all 20 drivers, although that will be little solace to the under-pressure Albon whose accident was severe enough to trigger the medical car.
Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc finished in fourth place with 29 laps completed and a personal best of 1.27.570
Sebastian Vettel returned to the F1 action after missing the entirety of the FP1 session due to an intercooler issue, but could only set the 18th fastest lap time, ahead of only Kevin Magnussen and Nicholas Latifi. A pretty dreadful day for the four-time champion at Silverstone, but clearly affected by the SF1000’s poor handling during the second free practice session.
The final free practice session gets underway at 11:00 AM local time, which will be the final outing before Saturday afternoon’s qualifying session.
