Leclerc fastest in rain-threatened FP2 at Sepang

Charles Leclerc was quickest in Friday’s second practice session for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, topping the timesheets for Ferrari at the Sepang International Circuit. The Ferrari driver ended the session ahead of Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar and McLaren’s Lando Norris.

After a dry and sunny opening practice, rain was a major concern for FP2, with forecasts indicating a 90 per cent chance of precipitation. With conditions potentially set to change, all 22 drivers went out soon after the pit lane opened at 1600 local time to gather data early in the session.
