Antonelli Delivers Friday Fastest as FP2 Spark at Austrian GP

Kimi Antonelli topped FP2 at the Austrian Grand Prix, clocking a 1m07.014s to go fastest after leading FP1 on a scorching day at the Red Bull Ring. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris split the Mercedes driver, with Verstappen fourth and Hamilton fifth as teams faced heat-induced reliability hiccups (Albon reported no power, Perez stopped with overheating) before the final runs, while the rest of the field tested harder compounds late in the session.
