F1 – Qatar: result of free trials 2, Bottas fuses like a shooting star with his Mercedes!

Valtteri Bottas reverses the trend of free practice 1 and takes the lead in the standings. The Finn in turn appeared very comfortable, more at ease than Max Verstappen’s Red Bull on a fast lap and in race pace. The night therefore brings advice to Mercedes who comes out of the water and is reassured in this weekend in Qatar. But this is not the case for Lewis Hamilton who seems in difficulty compared to his teammate. The Briton shows himself in the time of Max Verstappen who is behind the Mercedes. Sergio Pérez, meanwhile, finds himself once again far from his teammate.

Behind, the Alpha Tauri confirm and appear like the best of the others, ahead of the Ferraris and McLarens a little further behind. Once again, everything can change during the day on Saturday, like free practice 2, here is the ranking:

1. Valtteri Bottas – Mercedes

3. Max Verstappen – Red Bull
4. Lewis Hamilton – Mercedes
