Lando Norris headlined the second free practice session for the Dutch Grand Prix as Formula 1 championship leader Max Verstappen was just two hundredths shy of the McLaren driver.
Verstappen was offered the chance to move back ahead of the field but was 0.238s short of Norris's headliner to draw the opening half-hour of running to a close. Albon then rolled again, slotting in behind Verstappen.
The Dutchman took another effort but was still 0.023s shy of Norris, closing out the quick-fire flyers ahead of the traditional long runs at the end of the session. These were conducted across Pirelli's full suite of tyres in preparation for Sunday's grand prix, as the teams sought to understand the performance of the compounds around the coastal course.
No further improvements ensured Norris's time remained unbeaten, while Verstappen and Albon completed the top three positions.impressed with his run to fifth on the timing boards - just under half a tenth clear of erstwhile team-mate Gasly. Perez ended the session in seventh and a smidgen clear of Stroll, who suffered an off at the start of his longer runs with a skip across the Turn 11/12 gravel.
