Antonelli fastest in Belgium FP2 ahead of Norris

Kimi Antonelli set the pace during a dramatic second practice session for the Belgian Grand Prix, topping the timesheets ahead of Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. Despite two red flags caused by track debris and a late crash by Pierre Gasly, the Mercedes driver maintained his form, clocking a session-best time of 1m 45.944s on dry, sunny track conditions at Spa-Francorchamps. While Antonelli impressed, other teams faced mixed fortunes. Oscar Piastri was delayed by hydraulic issues, and George Russell struggled with tire temperatures, finishing over a second off his teammate's pace. The session concluded with the top six rounded out by Lewis Hamilton, Isack Hadjar, and Piastri, as teams shifted focus from qualifying simulations to longer race pace preparations.
