FRENCH GP - FREE PRACTICE #2 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    Lewis Hamilton topped the second practice session of the French GP weekend while Bottas was side-lined with a water leak.

    Hamilton set a time of 1:32.539 to take the top spot. Despite the water leak, Bottas still finished the session in 7th with a 1:34.156.

    Daniel Ricciardo took his Red Bull to 2nd, right behind Hamilton with a 1:33.243. Max Verstappen finished in 4th with a 1:33.271.

    Marcus Ericsson missed the session due to the damage his Sauber sustained in his FP1 crash that ended in flames. Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc set the 14th quickest time with a 1:35.583.

    Sergio Perez escaped penalty after his back-left tyre came off the car and made its way across the circuit, causing a Red Flag. The situation ended his session, leaving him in 19th with a 1:36.080.

    Another person not having the best session was Brendon Hartley, who encountered an engine problem. He finished in 15th while Gasly finished a few spaces up in 10th.
