George Russell stunned the field in second practice at the Italian Grand Prix, edging out Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc with a blistering final lap of 1:22.559 on soft tires—after a dramatic battle that saw Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli briefly lead before traffic cost him dearly. Leclerc, who’d been fastest earlier, was overtaken as teams shifted focus to race simulations. Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton rounded out the top five, while Max Verstappen, missing the first session, slumped to ninth. Minor incidents—including Leclerc’s spin and Stroll’s dangerous move on Norris—prompted stewards’ attention. Russell’s performance set the pace, leaving rivals scrambling to match his speed.
