Russell puts Mercedes on top in second Miami GP practice

George Russell (GBR) Mercedes AMG F1 W13. Miami Grand Prix, Friday 6th May 2022. Miami International Autodrome, Miami, Florida, USA.

George Russell set the fastest time during second practice for Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix as Mercedes showed front-running pace for the first time in the 2022 season.

Mercedes has struggled through the early phase of 2022 with its recalcitrant W13 but brought a smattering of updates for the inaugural event in Miami as it seeks to remedy its issues.

During a hot and humid second session in Miami on Friday afternoon Russell set a time of 1:29.938s to finish 0.106s up on championship leader Charles Leclerc.

Lewis Hamilton reinforced Mercedes’ pace by finishing fourth, 0.241s behind his team-mate, with Sergio Perez third for Red Bull.

Perez spun through Turn 8 early in the session but narrowly avoided contact with the wall.

It was a difficult session for Leclerc’s team-mate and his primary title opponent.

Carlos Sainz had a clumsy accident through Turn 13 early in the session after losing control of the car on the entry to the corner.

Max Verstappen suffered a right-rear fire on his out-lap and returned to the garage, where he stayed for the remainder of the one-hour session.

Fernando Alonso was fifth for Alpine, ahead of lead McLaren driver Lando Norris, while Pierre Gasly was seventh for AlphaTauri.

Zhou Guanyu set an eye-catching lap in the sole surviving Alfa Romeo to classify eighth, a thousandth of a second in front of Esteban Ocon.

Zhou’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas did not run in the session following his crash in the earlier running.

Kevin Magnussen rounded out the top 10 for US team Haas and had a spin through Turn 7 late on.

Sainz wound up 11th following his early crash and was left with only nine laps on the board.

The session was also halted late on when Nicholas Latifi parked his Williams after complaining of a loose rear-right corner.

Saturday’s final practice session is scheduled for 13:00 local time
