The second red flag was caused by Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. The RB15 stalled during a practice start at the end of the pit lane and his car had to be brought back to his garage.
The third red flag came out when Sebastian Vettel had a crashed with the Ferrari SF90 in turn 3. It's said that the crash was caused by a technical failure.
Valtteri Bottas could make up a lot of laps for his bad afternoon yesterday, when an oil-leak was discovered on the Mercedes engine of the W10.
The lap time of Sainz set in the morning session wasn't beaten in the afternoon session. Racing Point driver Sergio Pérez was able to drive the second quickest lap in the afternoon with the RP19.
At the end of the day we saw Charles Leclerc coming out of the Ferrari garage with the repaired SF90 for an installation lap.
Dispite that Ferrari could not do their complete testing program, the drivers together drove an amazing 1.157 laps today. That's over 5.385 km!
