During practice for the Japanese Grand Prix, McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris secured the top two spots despite significant disruptions caused by red flags. Two of the interruptions stemmed from trackside grass fires, which limited practice time for many drivers. Piastri set a best lap of 1:28.114, achieved between red flags, while Norris, the championship leader, performed consistently well but faced challenges with limited track time. The session was marred by incidents involving Jack Doohan and Fernando Alonso, leading to additional stoppages and creating uncertainty ahead of upcoming qualifying rounds.
Oscar Piastri topped the timesheet with a lap of one minute, 28.114 seconds during a disrupted second practice session, which faced multiple red flags due to incidents, including trackside grass fires.
Lando Norris maintained strong performance, being the fastest in the first practice and finishing second in the second session, significantly ahead of competitors despite the disruptions.
