McLaren star Oscar Piastri topped the timesheets at the end of Free Practice 2 at the Spanish Grand Prix, comfortably clear of his nearest rivals.

Piastri had struggled at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya earlier in the day in FP1, only finishing that session in P5 and over half a second behind his team-mate Lando Norris.

However, the championship leader bounced back strongly in FP2 with a session-leading 1:12:760, enough to edge Mercedes' George Russell in P2 by almost three-tenths.

Reigning world champion Max Verstappen and Norris finished third and fourth, respectively, but both ended the session with the exact same lap time, the Red Bull star listed higher due to the fact that he set his time first.

Charles Leclerc rounded out the top five, meanwhile, but it was another difficult session for his Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton. The Brit had finished third in FP1 and made a bright start to the weekend, but as has been the case so often this weekend, the seven-time world champion now heads into Saturday with more questions than answers.
