FP2: Leclerc tops extended practice session in Austin as drivers test 2023 Pirelli tyres

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc posted the fastest time in FP2 for the 2022 United States Grand Prix – this session lengthened from 60 to 90 minutes for Pirelli’s prototype 2023 tyre test. Leclerc clocked a 1m 36.810s during an early stint on the 2022-spec medium tyre, having been allowed to run his own programme at the start of the session after sitting out FP1.

Alongside Leclerc and Ferrari, several other drivers and teams conducted bespoke programmes for a portion of FP2 before focusing on the tyre test, with McLaren, Alfa Romeo, Williams and Haas also given dispensation for running ‘rookie’ drivers in FP1. 1 Charles Leclerc LEC Ferrari 1:36.810 2 Valtteri Bottas BOT Alfa Romeo +0.715s 3 Daniel Ricciardo RIC McLaren +0.817s 4 Carlos Sainz SAI Ferrari +1.422s 5 Mick Schumacher MSC Haas F1 Team +2.697s Indeed, FP2 marked the first laps of the weekend for Leclerc, Daniel Ricciardo, Valtteri Bottas, Nicholas Latifi and Kevin Magnussen – the latter looking to recover lost mileage at Haas after Antonio Giovinazzi’s crash in the opening session. Behind Leclerc, Bottas and Ricciardo made use of the 2022-spec soft compound en route to P2 and P3 for Alfa Romeo and McLaren respectively, the pair finishing over seven tenths away from the Monegasque's benchmark.

Lando Norris took sixth in the other McLaren, narrowly avoiding the wall after a wild slide at the pit entry, followed by Red Bull's Max Verstappen and the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton. Pirelli gained some useful information with their unmarked prototype 2023 tyres in FP2 AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly and Red Bull’s Sergio Perez were the final drivers to lap under the 1m 40s barrier in ninth and 10th respectively, with the aforementioned Magnussen placing 11th in his repaired VF-22. George Russell was almost a second down on team mate Hamilton in 13th, splitting the other AlphaTauri and Alfa Romeo machines of Yuki Tsunoda and Zhou Guanyu, with Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll dropping from P4 in FP1 to P15 in FP2.

At the back, Williams drivers Alex Albon and Latifi sandwiched Sebastian Vettel’s Aston Martin – the field covered by 5.5 seconds around the 5.513km Austin venue.

hi al! why is fp2 scheduled for an hour and a half instead of the usual one hour for suzuka?

They are doing a Pirelli tyre test for the 2023 tyres in Suzuka (and in Austin) in FP2 so they have extended the session by 30 minutes to gather as much data as possible

The second part is the biggest pile of regurgitated PR 💩 I've seen from Charles in a long time. I need a little pop-up that tells us how you really feel, Charles. Here, I can help you out:

Calls grow louder for Daniel Ricciardo to replace struggling Sergio Perez at Red Bull

The knives are sharpening! Calls grow louder for Daniel Ricciardo to replace struggling Sergio Perez at Red Bull - but team principal Christian Horner gives the Aussie a reality check Calls for Ricciardo's F1 return gain steam Sergio Perez experiencing serious form slump Team boss says Ricciardo return not planned By James Cooney For Daily Mail Australia Published: 06:23, 10 July 2023 | Updated: 06:23, 10 July 2023 Calls for Daniel Ricciardo to make a return to Formula One and replace underperforming Red Bull star Sergio Perez have grown louder - but team boss Christian Horner has poured cold water on the idea. Perez has struggled in recent races with qualifying debacles leaving serious questions about his future. The Mexican was knocked out in the early stages of qualifying for the British GP – the fifth race in succession he has started outside the top 10. He ended up finishing the race in sixth place, but Australian F1 great Mark Webber wasn't overly impressed.  'Anyone can gain positions in the races. Even I can do that, even though I'm an old fart now,' Webber told Channel 4. Calls for Daniel Ricciardo to make a return to Formula One and replace underperforming Red Bull star Sergio Perez have grown louder Embattled Red Bull star Sergio Perez has struggled to find form of late 'He has to sort qualifying out, he has to sort the mixed conditions out, and I think he's going to be alright but at this level you have to deliver in all conditions.'  Perez's form slump has sparked calls for Ricciardo to be shoehorned into his position behind the wheel. The Aussie has been waiting in the wings at Red Bull and hopes to have a full time seat with the team by 2024 - but team boss Horner doesn't see it happening any time soon. 'It's not something that we're planning, that's for certain,' Horner told media after the British GP. 'So it was right to give him the opportunity this year to remain within the team and keep him around the sport. 'I think it would have been a loss to the sport for him just to disappear and I think that I didn't recognise the Daniel of the last couple of years so I'll be very interested to see what kind of job he does on Tuesday.' Ricciardo will be back in a Red Bull car this week to take part in a Pirelli tyre test, and Horner believes it will be a good test for Ricciardo too. Team boss Christian Horner says replacing Perez is not something the team is planning Ricciardo's best chance of a return in 2024 might be with sister team AlphaTauri 'It's an important test for Pirelli but it's also going to be great to see him back in a Red Bull car and see what he can do,' said Horner. 'Where he's at, both on pace and mentally, physically and to get his feedback on this car as well. 'So I think it's a good opportunity for him to get back behind the wheel of a car that's just won the British Grand Prix.' The Honey Badger's return to the grid could well be on the cards, but his best bet might be with Red Bull’s sister team, AlphaTauri. Under-pressure driver Nyck De Vries had reportedly been handed a four-race ultimatum to improve, so a seat could open up there. De Vries is currently sitting in 19th for AlphaTauri, and is yet to score a point in 2023.

To the tyre test anon - they weren’t even running the same test. Lando was doing the tyre test the whole day, where tyres, fuel loads, set-ups & run programme waere all dictated by Pirelli & the different teams were running totally different programmes, tyres, set-ups etc at any given time (fyi a couple of the afternoon runners incl Lando I believe were running on inters at one point in desert heat, that’s how irrelevant these times are!). The regular 2022 F1 drivers all did the tyre test. Some like Lando, Yuki, Alex did all day, some like the Ferrari & Merc boys did half day shifts.

Oscar was not doing the tyre test. He was running the young driver test with the other rookies like Schwartzman, Sargeant, even De Vries, using this year’s car & the 2022 tyres. The point of Oscsr doing that was to get him used to the 2022 car & give him some test mileage in it, and also start to communicate with his engineers. The young driver test did not use the 2023 tyres the regular drivers were testing so the times will be completely different which is why so many of the rookies finished so close to or above the regular F1 drivers. Think back to the tyre tests in the season - those who had missed the FP1 session so had time in FP2 during the tests on the regular 2022 tyres topped the time sheets both times by quite a lot, because their cars were set up to optimise those tyres instead of Pirelli giving random set-ups that are not necessarily optimal because they are gathering certain cars. Same thing yesterday.

There is quite literally no comparison whatsoever between their times because they weren’t there doing the same testing. The two tests just happened to run at the same time. Even people who mean well need to inform themselves a bit better tbh. It’s infuriating seeing people saying stuff without knowing what they’re talking about. Sorry if I seem snippy but it’s driving me crazy how people across the board keep saying things without finding out all the facts.

And that's that ^

I will just say I believe previous anon was more angry at the fact people were shitting on Lando specifically yet again, and who the culprits all seemed to be, but this is an excellent explanation of the difference between the post-season testing and I'm grateful you've plonked it in my inbox so I can share it
