F1 Practice Today: Saudi Arabia Grand Prix results - Verstappen BEATEN in FP2
Fernando Alonso set the fastest time in FP2 at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, beating out the Red Bull of Max Verstappen and the Mercedes of George Russell.
Verstappen complained that his Red Bull was 'jumping a lot', but it didn't seem to prevent him from flinging his car around the 27 corners of the Jeddah circuit to set the fastest time in the first session.
His team-mate Sergio Perez set the third fastest time in FP1, but it was the Aston Martin of Alonso who split the two Red Bulls - a surprise given the Spaniard's tough race in Bahrain.
A number of drivers complained of 'dangerous' traffic during the session, with several incidents where rapid avoiding action had to be taken.
