Chequered flag!
Leclerc goes fastest on Friday with a 1:17.686💎 to take🔜 P1 in FP2.
Despite 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.
Running definitely affected by t🌺he wet⛦ FP1 session earlier on, with the full order at the end of FP2: LEC, NOR, GAS, TSU, OCO, HUL, BOT, ALO, ZHO, SAI, VER, STR, ALB, RIC, MAG, HAM, SAR, PER, PIA, RUS.
16:57
No grip for Lewis
"I've got no grip mate", reports Hamilton on th﷽e radi🅘o 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 afteಞrnoon.
16:55
Leclerc still fastest
Five minutes to go of Friday's practice sessions here as Lecleꦜrc stilಞl tops the timesheets with his earlier lap.
He leads from Norris, Gasly, Tsunoda, Ocon, H🦋⭕ulkenberg, Bottas, Alonso, Sainz and Verstappen who sits in 11th.
Both Mercede💯s 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 new🍌s for Piastri who will be ဣdesperate to get more dry running in...
16:50
Floor troubles for Piastri and Zhou
Zhou goes wi♏de in turn 4, and asks his Alfa Romeo team to check for damage as he feels the effects of the run-off on his floor.
Piastri isn't as fortunate in a꧒n earlier similar incident, which ✅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 thꦛe pit lane for Leclerc and Ocon!

The quickest man on track so far...

16:42
Mixed grid with 20 to go
A mixed grid with 20 minutes remaining of FP2, undoubtadely affected by the wet FP1 and alternative tyre a🤡llocations this weekend.
Top 10: LEC, NOR, GAS, TSU, OCO, HUL, BOT, ALO, ZHO, S🉐A🐷I.
16:38
Leclerc goes fastest
Leclerc making his mar☂k now as the times continue to get quicker on the soft tyre. A 1:17.7🃏 for the Ferrari driver.
16:36
Gasly goes quickest in S3
Piജerre Gasly is finding some pace now as he goes to seco꧂nd behind Norris, with a purple sector 3 to show for it.
Current top 1🍬0 with 25 minutes to go: NOR, GAS, TSU, OCO, HUL, BOT, ALO, ZHO, VER, STR.
16:33
Big lock up for Perez
A huge flat spot on one of Perez's four sets of soft tyres for the weekend as he co🌳ntinues to get his confidence back after the first practice session
16:31
Ocon and AlphaTauri near miss in the pit lane
A potential unsafe release for AlphaTauri as Ocon makes his waꦇy through the pit lane. Definitelyও not close enough to warrant anything more than an upset radio message, in my opinion.
16:29
Low fuel running for some
The so🌳ft tyre runs are ramping up as the half-way point approaches. Don't be surprised to see more of these after a limited FP1.
ꦛNorris has made his way to the top of the timing sheets with a 1:1🐼7.7, from Tsunoda, Hulkenberg, Alonso and Zhou to round the top 5.
16:22
A sigh of relief for Checo
Checo hits the track to bank up some good laps after his early exit from this morning's session

A jo𒈔b well done by the team t🐟o get his car fixed and ready!
16:20
Red Bull floor pictured
As Martin Brundle is stood at turn 4🐬, he is informed by photographers they got some shots⛎ of the underneath of Perez's Red Bull after his FP1 shunt.
There wiꦗll be many teams wanting to get their hands on those pictures!
16:19
Zhou unhappy with Hamilton
Zhou raises his haꦦnd at Hamilton as he goes round turn 5, where he finds Hamilton moving slowly on the exit.
16:17
Perez back on track
Sergio Perez is back on track for the first time since his FP1 shunt. A busy couple hours for his engineers has paid of💞f to get the Mexican some ꦇmuch needed time on the Hungaroring today.
Leclerc now setting lap times as Norris complaꦫins about bottoming through turn 5.
16:15
Sargeant still top
Not an awful lot to report𓂃 after 15 minutes here in FP2.
Sarg💧eant still has the fastest time with a 1:18.8 on the soft tyre, as the Ferraris and Red Bulls are still yet to set a time.
Current toꦦp 10: SAR, NOR, ALB, BOT, ZHO, ALO, PIA, OCO, TSU, 🔯STR.
16:10
Verstappen ready to go
Max Verstappen is preparin꧋g himself as George Russell completes his first outlap of🐓 FP2.
Logan Sargeant leads on the soft𝄹 tyre, from Bottas, Norris, ✤Albon and Alonso to round out the top five.
16:06
5 minutes gone
McLaren and Williams hold the top🧸 four places after five minutes, with a real mixture of tyre compounds and presumably fuel loads out o💦n track at the moment.
Red Bull, Fe⛎rrar🅺i and Mercedes yet to send their drivers out.
16:03
FP2 is underway!
Several cars wasting no time in ✱getting out on track as FP2 goe🎀s green!
Sergio Perez's car looks ready to go, too.
15:58
FP2 fast approaching...
It's still looking dry as we look to be having a more uniꦐnterupted practic🐽e session than earlier on.
FP2 in 2 minutes!
15:51
Checo watches on as work continues on his car following his FP1 incident
