Sergio Perez was the fastest man on track during the second free practice for the United States Grand Prix. Max Verstappen sounded dissatisfied on the team radio several times and came no further than P8.

According to the Dutchman, there was too much traffic on the track that prevented him from setting a fast lap, so he quickly started his long runs. Lando Norris finished on a surprising P2, two tenths behind Perez. Mercedes didn't come close to the Red Bull driver's time, finishing in third and fourth place.
