F1 | Spanish GP FP2 live coverage: Ferrari aiming for recovery in Barcelona. Ferrari aims to bounce back at the Spanish GP as FP2 gets underway in Barcelona.

Formula 1 returns to the track in Barcelona for the second free practice session — follow our live report of FP2 at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Ferrari arrives on the Iberian Peninsula with a new feature: a new front wing that should not be affected by the recent technical directive we previously discussed. The Scuderia’s goal remains the same as in recent races: to close the gap to their nearest rivals — Mercedes and Red Bull — and to the more distant ones, like the untouchable McLaren.

Winning in Barcelona will be a tough task, especially due to the weather conditions, as the heat could negatively impact on-track performance.

The start of FP2 at the Spanish GP is scheduled for 5:00 PM Central European Summer Time. Our live session report on the site will begin around 4:55 PM in the video below.
