Ride onboard with Piastri as McLaren man sets the pace in Japan

Oscar Piastri led the way in Friday's practice at the Suzuka Circuit, setting the fastest time during Free Practice 2. The McLaren driver clocked 1m 30.133s, finishing nearly one-tenth of a second ahead of Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli. This strong performance comes as a boost for the Australian, who has faced difficulties starting races earlier this season. Kimi Antonelli followed in second, with his teammate George Russell in third, completing the top three in the second practice session.
