Antonelli sets the pace from Piastri and Norris in Austria FP2

Kimi Antonelli set the pace in the second free practice session for the Austrian Grand Prix, topping the timesheets for Mercedes with a lap of 1m 07.014s. The session saw McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris secure second and third, respectively, as the team continued their strong form at the Red Bull Ring. The session was marked by significant technical challenges, particularly for Cadillac. Sergio Perez suffered an early stoppage due to an ECU issue, while Valtteri Bottas faced a cockpit fire, leaving both drivers at the bottom of the order and without crucial data for their upgrade packages. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen struggled with comfort issues, though he managed to finish fourth ahead of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
