Friday Sessions: Ferrari back in contention in Austria

After France served up one of the dullest Formula One races in recent memory, the Red Bull Ring provided as entertaining a second practice session as you're ever likely to see. What's more, amid the red flags and splintered carbon fibre there were signs that Ferrari is genuinely quick in Austria.

The accidents of Max Verstappen, Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel meant none of the top drivers completed a clean qualifying simulation, skewing the times somewhat. Individual sectors were completed flat out and paint part of the picture, but no one completed all ten corners without some kind of mistake or caveat masking their true pace.
