Lando Norris made a strong return to McLaren’s cockpit by topping the second practice session at the Austrian Grand Prix, bouncing back from his recent collision with teammate Oscar Piastri in Canada. Norris clocked a fastest lap of 1m04.580s, narrowly ahead of Piastri, who remains championship leader. Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll followed closely behind, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Mercedes’ George Russell faced challenges, with Lewis Hamilton struggling due to gearbox issues and a stewards’ call for blocking. Meanwhile, Liam Lawson reported worrying steering problems, adding to the weekend’s technical intrigue as teams geared up for qualifying.
