He led Verstappen by half-a-second fo🐷r the majority of FP2.
The three-time F1 champion and Red Bull driver was left complaining "I have too much air coming through my helmet" in a frustrating se♍ssion.
Verstappen may have taken some c🍷omfort from a race simulation which was fastest, ahead of Hamilton.
After qualifying simulation times, with 20 minutes left on the clock, Hamilton led Russell, Alonso, Sainz, Piastr🦩i anജd Verstappen.
🔯Lando Norris was last after the qu🌜alifying sim having made an error which resulted in him aborting his lap.
The third practice session, 🧜and qualifying, will be held on Friday꧙.
