Ferrari set the pace on the opening day of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, with Lewis Hamilton leading a Scuderia one-two in second practice.
The Maranello-based outfit has consistently been strong at the Baku City Circuit and made a dream start; however, McLaren's true pace remains unknown.
McLaren endured one of its worst days of the season on Friday, to the extent that Lando Norris was the top papaya driver in 10th.
Third practice is the final opportunity for each team to gather as much data as possible, particularly with there being much uncertainty over which tyre compound is the best for qualifying.
Max Verstappen ended second practice very pleased with the balance of his RB21 but aware that more pace is required. Will he find it in FP3?
