## Resource

Kimi Antonelli dominated practice two at the Austrian GP with a blistering lap, leaving Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris trailing but still showing McLaren’s resurgence. Verstappen looked frustrated in fourth, battling car issues and seat discomfort, while Hamilton’s fifth spot was marred by a lock-up. Russell, Hadjar, Leclerc, Lawson, and Bortoleto rounded out the top ten — but Bottas retired in smoke and Perez triggered a virtual safety car, signaling a wild and unpredictable session as the fight for pole heats up.
