With rain moving over the region, teams stayed in the garages for much of the session. Here's what you missed:

Logan Sargeant did not run in FP2 after his FP1 crash. The damage was too severe to have the car ready in time
Teams assessed the track conditions throughout the session as the conditions remained too dry for intermediate tires but too wet to learn anything on slicks. This led to very few drivers actually setting lap times
VCARB was the first team with both drivers setting lap times. with both Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo going on flying laps with intermediate tires. Several other teams set lap times in the final seconds of the session
