Leclerc topped the second session, 0.112 seconds clear of Carlos Sainz despite missing virtually the entire first session with a gearbox problem. Sainz was continually up at the sharp end through the first session, ending it second fastest to Red Bull’s Sergio Perez. Sainz then was second fastest to Hamilton after the first runs of the second session, with the drivers on medium tyres, while Leclerc was sixth as he dialled himself into the track. Sainz set the pace when the drivers switched to the ‘soft’ tyres for their qualifying simulation runs, only for Leclerc, running slightly out of sync after a longer first run, to usurp him a few minutes later.
