The second Formula 1 practice session at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace Interlagos was heavily disrupted by unpredictable weather and costly technical gremlins. Light rain began to fall just as the pit lane opened, catching out teams who had expected dry conditions throughout the afternoon running.
This sudden shift hit several key drivers hard, particularly Nico Hulkenberg. The Audi veteran was forced to sit out the entire session after his car suffered a severe electrical failure, stemming from earlier gearbox issues experienced by rookie stand-in Freddie Slater during opening practice.
Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli masterclass unfolded at the front of the field. The reigning champion set the benchmark with a blistering lap of 1:10.763 around Interlagos, fending off fierce challenges from Lando Norris and Max Verstappen during the late soft-tyre simulations.
Local hero Gabriel Bortoleto initially thrilled the grandstands with a spirited early run before the heavy hitters found their rhythm on optimal rubber. Track evolution and intermittent drops tested the reflexes of the entire grid as engineers scrambled to gather crucial long-run telemetry.
As the session drew to a close, race stewards kept a close eye on minor track limit infractions while teams shifted their focus toward fine-tuning setups for the remainder of the high-stakes Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend.
