FP2 provided the most similar conditions to qualifying and the race.

Drivers took to the track for the second time on Friday for FP2 at the Australian Grand Prix.

After Lando Norris topped the times in FP1, it was the turn of Charles Leclerc to set the quickest time of 1:17.277.

Max Verstappen, who needed a new floor after an incident earlier in the day, was second, while Carlos Sainz rounded out the top three.

Alex Albon did not take part in the session after suffering a heavy crash in FP1 and is now a doubt for the rest of the weekend due to Williams lacking the necessary spare parts.
