Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc recorded the fastest lap time during the second free practice session for the Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix, which is being held at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia. Leclerc's performance at the Friday afternoon session followed an opening practice session earlier in the day where Red Bull's Max Verstappen set the early pace amidst extreme heat conditions.

Leclerc's session-topping lap provided a timely boost for Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur, coming just a day after the 28-year-old Monegasque driver publicly voiced support for him. During the second practice, Leclerc finished ahead of Red Bull's Isack Hadjar, as teams prepare for the weekend's Grand Prix events.
