McLaren dominance in the second free practice session of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but Norris prefers to stay cautious.
McLaren is one step away from the Constructors’ Championship. This was evident from the second free practice session of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, with a clear dominance by the British team: first and second place, respectively, for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who surprised the competition both in terms of race pace and on the single lap.
Norris, who is battling Leclerc for second place in the Drivers’ Championship, chose not to get too excited after the second session, making the following comments:“It’s been a good day, yes. The car has been strong all day, and we’ve continued from where we left off in Qatar. I feel strong, but I think we still have a bit to improve both at low and high fuel loads. The standings definitely look better than they are because I don’t think the others have turned up their engines yet. For now, everything might seem rosy, but I think tomorrow there will still be a tough battle.”.
Lando then added:“What can we improve? Not big things, but with small tweaks we can try to find a better balance between lap time and tire management, especially in long runs.” “,
