Verstappen tops FP2 as Hamilton worries about Spanish GP qualifying.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing dominated the opening day of practice at the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix, with Verstappen setting the quickest time overall and showing impressive pace on long runs. Ferrari and Aston Martin tested upgrades, while Mercedes struggled with their setup and may need to make changes overnight. Wet weather could shake up the action over the rest of the weekend, and the track layout changes have made overtaking harder due to increased tyre wear. Verstappen is the favorite for race victory, but the field behind is very close.
