Start of second free practice postponed: another drain problem

The start of the second free practice session for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has been postponed. The session started 10 minutes later than scheduled. The problem is again said to be with a drain cover.

"The start of the second free practice has been postponed," the FIA announced prior to the second free practice. The FIA did not provide further information about the reason for the postponed session.

The information eventually came out: the problem again lies with a drain cover in the pits. All drain covers in the pit lane had to be checked before the session, so the session was postponed by 10 minutes. The session started at 20:10 local time.
