Lando Norris remained on top of the times in second Hungarian Grand Prix practice as McLaren continued to show dominant form.

The British driver, quickest in the opening hour of running, posted a best time of 1m15.625sec as teams focused on their qualifying runs before switching to longer stints.

Norris was nearly three tenths of a second faster than McLaren team-mate and championship rival Oscar Piastri, again second fastest.

Norris and Piastri nearly made contact at the end of the session when Norris locked his front wheels on the inside of his team-mate at Turn 1.

The top three order was the same as in FP1, with Charles Leclerc following the McLaren duo in third, four tenths off Norris’s best in the quickest of the Ferraris.

Team-mate Lewis Hamilton was unable to match Leclerc’s pace, finishing in sixth despite setting the quickest time in the first sector.

The Ferrari drivers were split by the Aston Martin duo, with Lance Stroll in fourth and Fernando Alonso in fifth.

Alonso, who missed the first session as a result of a muscle injury, returned to action for the afternoon running with Aston Martin.

George Russell went seventh quickest in the Mercedes, with team-mate Kimi Antonelli rounding out the top 10.

Max Verstappen finished down in 14th position, 1.1sec off the pace, after struggling with the handling of his Red Bull all session long.

“I don’t know what’s going on. It’s undriveable. I can’t get any balance,” Verstappen complained on the radio.

Verstappen is also facing an investigation after the world champion threw an object, seemingly a towel, he found in the cockpit onto the side of the circuit at Turn 3.

The incident meant the world champion and his team are being investigated for sending the car out in a dangerous condition.

Williams drivers Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon, one of the stars of the Belgian GP last weekend, were also off the pace, the Spaniard down in 16th, two places ahead of his team-mate.

Sainz drew the anger of Racing Bulls‘ Liam Lawson as he impeded the Kimi, the Spaniard having lost both telemetry and radio.
