What happened in F1 2026 US GP second practice - The Race

Charles Leclerc kept Ferrari on top in second practice for Formula 1's 2026 United States Grand Prix, narrowly beating Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes and Max Verstappen's Red Bull to the fastest time. Leclerc topped FP1 around Austin's Circuit of the Americas, but only because Verstappen had a quicker lap deleted for track limits, and it was Verstappen who set the pace early on in FP2 on the medium Pirelli tyres, after finally doing a lap below 1m36s that was legal. George Russell managed a 1m36.0s for Mercedes early on in FP2, while the Ferraris and Lando Norris's McLaren ran the hard compound tyre and Antonelli spent time in the garage fixing a loose seat that he described as "moving like crazy". When F1's likely 2026 champion did finally take to the track in anger, out of sequence with the rest, he was two tenths off his Mercedes team-mate. Leclerc's hard-tyre running was compromised by traffic in the high-speed Esses and getting forced off the circuit by Russell (who was shown a warning flag for his trouble), but on the soft-tyre qualifying simulations the Ferrari came alive and Leclerc went fastest with a 1m35.291s lap.
