Williams was eager to maximize track time for their back-to-back tests, but their plans were disrupted when FP1 was red-flagged due to a CCTV issue after just a few laps. However, Formula 1 organizers extended the second session to compensate for the lost time.
During FP2, Albon completed 33 laps, posting a best time that was 1.3 seconds off the pace. Meanwhile, Sargeant managed 38 laps but was four-tenths of a second slower than his teammate.
