Charles Leclerc topped a heavily-disrupted Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Free Practice 2, featuring two red flags.

Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz crashed in the opening minutes, leading to a lengthy delay for barrier repairs, while Nico Hulkenberg spun seconds after the restart.

Once the disruption ended, the field switched to Soft tyre runs, with Leclerc ending narrowly fastest from McLaren's Lando Norris and Max Verstappen in the Red Bull.
