F1 Japanese GP: Verstappen quickest again as Gasly crash ends FP2 early

Max Verstappen completed a clean sweep of Friday's Formula 1 practice sessions after topping FP2, 0.320 seconds clear of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

The Dutchman punched in a 1m30.688s to stand atop the timing boards, having been bumped off the top following his opening run on soft tyres as the rest of the front-running pack waited until later to clock their first times on softs.

Verstappen had originally stepped up to the top of the pile with a 1m31.377s on his first timed run, going early on soft tyres as the majority of the field used the early part of the session to explore Pirelli's prototype tyre compound., who switched to a set of the red-walled tyre and set a 1m31.152s to underline McLaren's pace on the technical and flowing Suzuka course.
