Leclerc\u00a0posted a flying lap of\u00a0one\u00a0minute, 17.277\u00a0seconds on soft tyres midway through the session,\u00a00.381 seconds quicker than\u00a0Red Bull\u2019s reigning world champion Max Verstappen.The Dutchman, bidding for back-to-back wins in Australia and a third victory in succession this season, made a late start in the second session after damaging the floor of his car in the first.His team mate Sergio Perez was eighth fastest on a day when most cars struggled for grip on the street circuit.Leclerc\u2019s time was more than a second quicker than McLaren driver\u00a0Lando Norris\u2019s pace-setting lap (1:18.564) in the first practice (FP1), which was halted in the last\u00a020 minutes after\u00a0Albon\u2019s crash triggered a red flag.The England-born Thai\u00a0locked up and took a heavy shunt into the barrier at turn six\u00a0then careened into the opposite barrier to damage both sides of his car, leaving debris down a long section of the track.It came a year after Albon crashed at the same turn on race-day, triggering\u00a0one\u00a0of three red flags.Albon\u00a0walked away from his car\u00a0unharmed\u00a0and apologised on the team radio.\u00a0He missed FP2 as his team worked on his car, and Williams, who do not have a spare chassis in Melbourne, may be down a driver for the rest of the race weekend if unable to repair it.Carlos Sainz made a successful return to his Ferrari race seat two weeks after surgery for appendicitis, posting the third fastest lap in FP2 after being eighth in FP1.It was a sobering day for Mercedes, though, whose early season troubles appear to have followed them to Australia.Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton reported something wrong with his Mercedes in FP2, posting only the 18th fastest lap after being ninth quickest earlier.Russell was sixth in FP2 and third in FP1 but also struggled for control, joining Hamilton with a skid off track in the early session and complaining about vibration in his steering rack.\u201cIt didn\u2019t feel good out there today,\u201d said Hamilton.\u201cWe made some big changes into FP2 and unfortunately, that made the car worse.\u201dAston Martin\u2019s Lance Stroll was fourth in FP2, ahead of team mate Fernando Alonso.Following Albon\u2019s crash Williams had another fright in FP2 when Logan Sargeant, who recorded the 13th quickest lap, slid off track at the exit of turn 11.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
