Norris quickest from team-mate Piastri in second practice at Spa
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri gave McLaren a 1-2 in FP2 for the Belgian Grand Prix ahead of Max Verstappen, while in the other Red Bull Sergio Perez was again massively adrift. The result provided a significant twist in the weekend's early narrative after Verstappen had dominated the field in FP1, while the pressure on Perez increased given his gap to his team-mate, with Red Bull set to decide on his F1 future following this race.
Behind the leaders, George Russell was the top Mercedes driver in sixth, with Alpine's Esteban Ocon and Kevin Magnussen getting in front of the embattled Perez on the lower-fuel runs. Perez ended up 1.244s down on Norris, with a 1.27s difference to Verstappen in the other Red Bull. Lewis Hamilton rounded out the top 10 in the other Mercedes before the pack switched to race simulations under ever darker skies and rain threatening to break to FP2's end.
