F1 Results Today: Lewis Hamilton FASTEST as McLaren stunned at Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Ferrari F1 star Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after both McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri hit the wall in FP2.
Hamilton beat his team-mate Charles Leclerc to set the fastest time in the second practice session on Friday, separated by 0.074 seconds.
Meanwhile, McLaren were left stunned when Norris hit the wall at Turn 4, which damaged his rear suspension and he had to limp around the circuit to make his way back to the pits.
Soon after, team-mate Oscar Piastri also clipped the wall at Turn 15 and was forced to back out of his lap and check the damage in the McLaren garage.
In addition to his brush with the wall, Piastri was also noted for a yellow flag infringement during FP2.
The Aussie also suffered a separate issue on Friday, with Oscar Piastri returning to the garage in FP1 with power unit problems.
Thankfully, a red flag caused a delay to the session, and the McLaren team were able to repair his car, so Piastri could resume running out on track.
