Kimi Antonelli leads Spa practice as George Russell struggles

Kimi Antonelli led the second practice session at the Belgian Grand Prix, finishing 1.285 seconds ahead of his Mercedes teammate George Russell, who struggled to eighth place. Lando Norris followed in second, while championship rivals Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were fourth and third respectively. Antonelli's strong performance came after a less competitive first practice. A crash by Pierre Gasly disrupted the session, leading to a red-flag stoppage. The next practice session is scheduled for 11:30 AM on Saturday, with qualifying later that day.
