Close to Verstappen – Saint, unrecognizable Williams, problems for Leclerc in FP2
Max Verstappen was 0.022 inches faster than Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz in second free practice at Silverstone. Williams’ Alex Albon was two tenths back for the third time, an SF-23 electrical problem left Charles Leclerc stuck in the pits.
Max Verstappen stayed on top in the second practice session of the British GP, the tenth round of this year’s Formula One, but this time he seems to have a fight ahead – with last year’s Silverstone winner Carlos Sainz driving Ferrari SF -23 in just 22 milliseconds from the Dutchman.
At the start of the hour-long session, all the drivers took to the track for several laps on the medium and hard tires – with the exception of Charles Leclerc, who remained in the pits (and outside the cockpit) while the Scuderia’s engineers worked on an electrical problem in the Monegasque SF-23. Ultimately, however, they were unsuccessful in getting the 25-year-old to take to the track in these tests.
Initially, Perez was a tenth faster than Verstappen at the lead on the medium tire until Sainz dethroned the Mexican in the Ferrari SF-23 by almost 0.4 inches. Hamilton came within inches of Verstappen while Pierre Gasly’s Alpine time was impressive – two and a half tenths behind Perez’ Red Bull, albeit on the hard tyre.
Also on the medium tyre, Oscar Piastri improved to 21mm over Verstappen, around three tenths ahead of Lando Norris – because, remember, on those three days the young Australian purchased the extensive upgrade package McLaren in Austria on Norris’ MCL60 attached.
Saint stayed in the lead for a long time, 0.37 inches ahead of Perez – until Fernando Alonso started the “dance” of the qualifying test simulations with the soft rubber in the 20th minute. The Spaniard was 51mm short of breaking Saind’s first time on the medium tyre.
The one who did, however, was shortly after Verstappen with his first fast lap (in 1:28.078) on the soft tyre, a full second quicker than Ferrari’s Spaniard.
Sainz’s reaction brought the Spaniard within 22 milliseconds of the Dutchman, while another impressive performance from Alex Albon Williams moved into third place, two and a half tenths ahead of Verstappen.
The Williams’ improvement, which does not seem to be due (at least not in large part) to a lower fuel load, but rather to its excellent straight-line speed, was also confirmed by Logan Sargeant with a 5th place finish. The American was around seven tenths ahead of Verstappen and almost 0.24 inches behind fourth-placed Perez.
Shortly after half an hour, the protagonists returned to the track on soft rubber but with a higher fuel load to collect data on the race lap times on this type of tire. Then many cars followed again with the two tires that were most difficult to collect for the race, and so the top position did not change until the end.
Aston Martin and Mercedes seemed out of their element for the second year in a row at the Silverstone circuit, as they didn’t look – or didn’t want to look – competitive with Ferrari and, surprisingly, Williams.
Mercedes could improve their luck over the three-day period, however, as Saint admitted the W14’s race speed on the soft rubber was quite high.
The qualifying tests for the British GP will take place tomorrow, Saturday (07/08) at 17:00, at the same time as the race on Sunday (07/09). Don’t miss her LIVE coverage of the Sportish.

A few days ago Itzial GonzálezThe former Real Madrid nutritionist and specialist in physiotherapy and osteopathy broke her silence in an interview with Marca newspaper and spoke about the workplace harassment she suffered in the club’s medical service. real madrid.
“The first day they told me that I was there at the president’s whim, but they knew how to handle the president, and the president was doing everything they wanted, and they were trying to manipulate the president into believing I was crazy and getting rid of me,” he said in the aforementioned interview with the media.
So, a few days later, she spoke again about what happened in an interview with Radio Euskadi, revealing new details about the judicial process in which she was involved and about her time at the club.
“I told the club’s medical service that eating pastries for breakfast didn’t seem to be the most suitable for me, and their response was: ‘We have to maintain the status quo. If we don’t change something, we will kick you out. Now we have won the Champions League 15 times’, a phrase often used there,” he told a Basque-language radio station.
“They said if a player comes, they will take care of me, but how can a player come who doesn’t know who I am or where I am? And they said, ‘Well, that’s better, that way you can earn money without working. How lucky you are. And I recommend that you don’t leave here, because that’s the best way to stay in this country for a long time.’ genuine madrid” he declared Itzial.

Lucas VillaAt just 12 years old, he is one of the exciting players selected by Atletico Madrid’s coaching staff. Liga FC Futures what is being played in Gran Canaria Stadium (Las Palmas).
The last name is not deceiving. The son of David Villa, who played as a forward for Sporting de Gijón, Zaragoza, Valencia, FC Barcelona, Atleti, Melbourne City, New York City and Vissel Kobe, has scoring in his blood. ‘Guahé’ only wore the red and white shirt for one season, but he left his mark on the fans. They won the historic league game 13-14 and were just short of qualifying for the Champions League. For Kouhaku fans who are currently excited about “Mini Guaju”, it was a year that didn’t really feel that way.
Although Luka is a forward, he prefers to drop to the flanks, as Spain’s No. 7 did at the World Cup, which his team won. In his case, he is left-handed, so he tends to the left side, but he also plays defense in the center. He has a sense of smell for goals, which is one of the traits a person is born with or not. He could hit from anywhere and dominated the aerial duel with powerful shots from outside the area. A few months ago, he had already said that he wanted to be like his father and Fernando Torres. It’s clear that Mattresses’ DNA runs through his veins.
In their debut in La Liga, FC Futures repeatedly missed their mark, pressed from high positions and were inside the playing area which ended in an own goal that led to a goal. The best is yet to come.
