Chequered flag!
Leclerc goes fastest on Friday 🌊with a 1:17.686 to take P1 in FP2.
Des💛pite a dry session, it's still difficult to tell how true a reflection of pace today's sessions have been, as is always the case with practice.

No grip for Lewis
"I've got no grip mate", reports Hamilto🐷n on the radio to his team.
"Lewis, this long run data is very useful. Others look like they're having similar issues💝", replies race engineer Pete Bonnington.
More suggestion 🌃Mercedes aren't quite showing their full hand this afternoon.
16:55
Leclerc still fastest
Five minutes to go of Friday's practice sessions here as Leclerc still to🅺p🍃s the timesheets with his earlier lap.
He leads from Norris, Gasly, Tsunoda, Ocon, Hulken🅰berg, Bottas, Alonso, Sainz and Verstappen who 🗹sits in 11th.
Both M𒊎ercedes are yet to set a quick time on the softs.
16:51
Reports of rain
All eyes are on the weather radars on the pit walls as some drops of rain are reported🍸 in sector two.
Bad news for Piastri who will be desperate to get more dry running ༒in...

Floor troubles for Piastri and Zhou
Zhou go♉es wide in turn 4, and asks his Alfaꦕ Romeo team to check for damage as he feels the effects of the run-off on his floor.
Piastri isn'tꦍ as fortunate in an earlier similar incident, whi𓂃ch broke his floor. That's now been repaired thankfully for the Australian who is getting ready to go back out on track.
16:46
Another near miss, with Alpine this time at fault...
A close call in 📖the൩ pit lane for Leclerc and Ocon!

Big lock up for Perez
A huge flat spot on one of Perez's four sets of soft tyres for the weekend as he continues to get his confidence back after the firs🅘t practice session
16:31
Ocon and AlphaTauri near miss in the pit lane
A potential unsafe release for AlphaTauri as Ocon makes his way through the pit lane. 🐼Definitely not close enough to warrant any🌜thing more than an upset radio message, in my opinion.
16:29
Low fuel running for some
The soft tyre runs are ramping up as the half-way point approaches. Don't be surprised to see more of these aft🎉er a limited FP1.
Norris has made his way to the top of the timing sheets with a 1:17.7, from Tsunoda, Hulkenberg, 𒈔Alonso and Zhou to round the top 5.
16:22

Lecl♊erc now setting lap times as Norris complains about bottoming through turn 5.
16:15
Sargeant still top
Not anღ awful lot to report after 15 minutes her🧔e in FP2.
