F1 2022 results: Austrian GP – Second Practice session

Ferrari have snatched a 1-2 in the final practice session ahead of the Sprint Qualifying race in Austria.

Ferrari have set the pace in the final practice session in Austria, with Carlos Sainz setting

With the cars all locked in parc ferme conditions since qualifying began on Friday evening, it was a solid and unspectacular session across the field as no setup experimentation was possible.

Unsurprisingly, this meant that the top three from qualifying also occupied the top three at the end of the practice session.

While Sainz and Leclerc used the soft tyre compound for their quickest laps, Max Verstappen was third for Red Bull having used the medium tyre for his quickest time.

Both Mercedes drivers were able to join in the session from about the halfway mark, having required extensive repairs from both George Russell and Lewis Hamilton crashing during Friday’s Q3.
