Carlos Sainz led a closely-fought second practice at the Italian Grand Prix from Lando Norris to give Ferrari a confidence boost on home soil.
Sainz, who was second behind Max Verstappen in the opening practice session, set the fastest times on the medium and soft tyre runs to underline Ferrari's strong pace at Monza.Norris was just 0.019s behind the Spaniard, with Sergio Perez another 0.166s down on the pace-setter after receiving a handy slipstream from Verstappen at the end of the lap. However, on the race runs, Perez spun at the final corner and nudged the barrier, before getting beached in the gravel which caused a red flag.
Hamilton was told by his engineer Peter Bonnington he was mostly losing time on the straights to his Mercedes team-mate.Lance Stroll only completed one full lap all day due to a car failure as he was stuck in eighth gear before grounding to a halt at Turn 10, the Ascari Chicane.
