Charles Leclerc topped the timesheets for Ferrari in the second free practice at the Australian Grand Prix on March 22 after Williams driver Alex Albon wrecked his car in the first session with a crash at a familiar turn at Albert Park.
Leclerc posted a flying lap of one minute, 17.277 seconds on soft tyres midway through the second session (FP2), 0.381 seconds quicker than Red Bull's reigning world champion Max Verstappen.
Dutchman Verstappen, bidding for back-to-back wins in Australia and a third victory in succession this season, made a late start after damaging the floor of his car in the earlier session and was unable to do as many laps as planned.
