Edoardo Mortara was the fastest on track for the second Free Practice in Tokyo, going top of the times again for Mahindra Racing with a 1m12.491s.

The Swiss driver looks comfortable here, but he did have a brief tap with a wall during his lap. Nyck de Vries, his teammate, did the same but had more repercussions with his session being brought to an abrupt end.

Dan Ticktum was second for CUPRA KIRO, with Pascal Wehrlein followed by Nico Müller third and fourth for Porsche. Jake Dennis rounded out the top five for Andretti, but his teammate Felipe Drugovich had a big off which brought out the red flags and could jeopardise his chance to make qualifying later.

As It Happened…

The session got underway at 13:30 local time, but just moments into FP2 a red flag was deployed after an incident for Felipe Drugovich. The Andretti driver, whose team is sporting a special chrome silver and blue Liberty Walk livery this weekend, crashed into the barriers at Turn 16 and caused significant damage.

Thankfully the championship’s most recent Julius Baer Pole Position holder was fine after his shunt, but the powertrains will be changed and the monocoque assessed after the heavy damage.

Once the session resumed, it was Edoardo Mortara who was looking best. The Mahindra driver was fastest yesterday during FP1 and will be trying to keep his championship hopes alive this weekend as he sits sixth in the drivers’ standings. His teammate, Nyck de Vries, also had a moment with the wall at Turn 16 and wasn’t able to resume the session.

Pascal Wehrlein was under investigation for pit lane speeding, with no decision being made when the chequered flag was waved.
