Max Verstappen ended his second free practice for the São Paulo Grand Prix with five minutes still to run because of steering trouble, RacingNews365 reported. He was third at the time; the outlet said the problem did not put that position at risk.

The trouble followed a power-steering complaint in first practice. Verstappen said the car was much heavier to steer to the left than to the right. RacingNews365 suggested the same problem may have returned in the second session.
