McLaren enter second practice ahead of this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix as the team to beat following FP1, which saw Lando Norris top the timesheets ahead of Oscar Piastri.
However, it was far from a smooth session for the papaya squad, as Piastri suffered a power unit-related issue which required a swift repair.
In typical Baku City Circuit fashion, first practice was eventful, featuring a bizarre red flag due to a track issue and several clips with the various walls.
Charles Leclerc has claimed four consecutive poles in the Azerbaijan GP and looked competitive in the opening session, handing Ferrari an immediate boost.
As for F1's most recent winner, Max Verstappen had to settle for seventh – behind Yuki Tsunoda. Will FP2 prove to be just as eventful?
