Team Summary:
The second Friday practice session for the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix was another of Pirelli's 2023 tyre evaluations. On the test tyre Verstappen was quickest with a 1m:22.464 but Gasly moved past with a 1m:22.186 now followed by Verstappen and Perez. Sainz was now quickest on the test tyre with Gasly now second followed by Verstappen. Leclerc, Perez, Hamilton, Russell, Alonso, Ocon, and Ricciardo tenth. Russell and Ocon were running on the medium tyre. And it would be Russell who would move to the top of the times with a 1m:21.742 from Sainz and Gasly. Tsunoda also been able to run on the medium tyre was now third. Perez was now fastest with a 1m:21.579 using the test tyre followed by Verstappen, Sainz, and Russell.

Now on the soft Russell would set a 1m:19.970 to be quickest with Tsunoda now second also on the soft tyre. They would be joined by Ocon in third also on the soft tyre as Hamilton was now fourth on the test tyre. Perez was fifth followed by Verstappen, Leclerc, Sainz, Bottas and Gasly tenth. Outside the top three the other drivers were all on the 2023 test tyres. But the session would be Red Flagged as Leclerc put is car backwards into the barrier. With just under forty minutes remaining the session would restart with a rush of drivers coming out. The session would wind down with all drivers now using the Pirelli test tyre. Both Williams drivers continued to lap on the test tyre as the session drew to a close.

It would come to an end with another Red Flag for a car stopped at the side of the track. The order was Russell from Tsunoda, Ocon, Hamilton, Perez, Verstappen, Leclerc, Sainz, Bottas, and Gasly tenth. The Williams drivers would remain 13th and 19th positions from which no real comparison could be made.

Alex Albon:
Having missed FP1 Alex would get to use regular tyres in the FP2. With twenty minutes of the session completed Alex had yet to take to the track. With an hour and five minutes remaining Alex would come out running on the soft tyre. Alex would finish with a 1m:22.447 to be 13th pitting after just a three lap run. He would say "We are well out with balance. Completely off. We're like 2% forwards on brake bal or something. The fronts were graining on the out-lap as well. Just no bite on the front tyres at all". With the restart of the session Alex would return but this time on the test tyre and would complete nine laps prior to the end of the session.

Nicholas Latifi:
Nicholas would be required to run on Pirelli's development tyres for the session. He would set a 1m:25.049 but any comparison was impossible. Nicholas would complain that his up shifts were quite harsh. Nicholas was now 14th and had pitted after a five lap run with a best of 1m:24.053. He would drop to 17th as he returned for another test tyre run. He would improve with a 1m:23.320 to now be 14th. He would pit after another five lap test tyre run currently 15th. He would drop to 17th and with the session restart would return again on the test tyre. He would drop to 19th to be behind the two Haas cars. He would pit after a nine lap run ending his session.
