Oscar Piastri secured the fastest lap in the second free practice for the Japanese Grand Prix, narrowly beating Mercedes drivers Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. However, Mercedes dominated the heavy fuel long runs, with Antonelli leading the pack and averaging two and a half tenths per lap faster than his teammate Russell. McLaren lagged behind, while Ferrari sat second but trailed Mercedes by around six tenths per lap. Mercedes advantage was primarily due to their superior speed on the straights, with Red Bull struggling to keep up. In the midfield, Haas and Alpine led the pack, while Mercedes appeared to be the weekend favorite.
