Lando Norris loses crucial running as gearbox gremlin strikes

Lando Norris faced a setback during the second practice session for the Spanish Grand Prix due to a gearbox problem in his McLaren. After completing just two installation laps, he reported that the gearbox had shifted into 'false neutral', which led to his early exit from the session.

McLaren later confirmed that they had identified the issue and would need to change the gearbox. The team was working to get Norris back on track before the session ended, but time was limited, especially given the challenging nature of the new Madring circuit.
