Verstappen displeased with Leclerc's unusual choice in Spain

After setting their fastest lap times of the day on the soft tyres, both Verstappen and Leclerc were running on the mediums in FP2, carrying out their long runs.

As on the main straight, the Dutchman tried to get past Leclerc, the Ferrari driver however also opened his DRS. That is quite unusual during a long run.

On the team radio, Verstappen reacted to Leclerc's move to his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase: “Ha ha ha… Oh man,” expressing his thoughts. 'GP' marked it was not the 'most clever' decision.

Verstappen ended up setting the third fastest lap time in FP2 behind Oscar Piastri and George Russell, while Leclerc finished in P5 in terms of the laps they set on the soft tyres.

Lewis Hamilton also did something similar in FP2, with Fernando Alonso being behind the seven-time world champion.

The Spaniard was not also happy with the other Ferrari driver's move, and said: "The good thing is that the weekend is very long. Even the championship is very long."
