  "account": "The second day of the United States Grand Prix commenced with the third and final free practice session at the Circuit of the Americas. This marked the first time since the 2022 season that the venue did not host a Formula 1 Sprint weekend, with the third free practice session marking the start of the day. Subsequently, qualifying was scheduled to follow.\n\nCharles Leclerc emerged as the top driver in both Friday's practice sessions. The Monegasque driver secured the fastest lap in FP1, finishing less than a tenth of a second ahead of his teammate Max Verstappen. Kimi Antolin was just 0.042 seconds behind Leclerc in FP2. Verstappen claimed third place in the second session.\n\nIn contrast, Lewis Hamilton, who set the fourth quickest time, lagged more than six tenths of a second behind Leclerc. The McLaren drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, rounded out the top eight, finishing seventh and eighth respectively, over a second behind the leaders.\n\nLeclerc noted that both Kimi Antolin and Max Verstappen were particularly strong, despite leading the timesheets on the first day. The Ferrari and Red Bull drivers appeared particularly formidable, with Leclerc expressing confidence in their performance.",
