F1 Results Today: Chaos reigns as champion out of FOUR-red flag session

A bizarre second practice session at the Japanese Grand Prix saw four red flags, with two coming out for cars going off the track and two for the track's grass catching fire.

The first red flag was triggered by a massive crash for under-pressure Alpine driver Jack Doohan, who wrecked his car beyond recognition when he went off at high speed into the first corner.

After that, two-time world champion Fernando Alonso lost control of his car and got stuck in the gravel after he dipped a wheel onto the grass, ending his session as his car was towed back to the garage.

Championship leader Lando Norris looked less than entirely comfortable in his thus-far dominant McLaren, going wide more than once and complaining about his tyres as he attempted to dial his car into the track, although he still set the fastest lap in the weekend's first hour of running.

Yuki Tsunoda had a promising first session as a senior Red Bull driver, looking reasonably comfortable in his home race following his shock promotion from Racing Bulls.

However, he was unable to get a qualifying simulation run in in FP2 amidst all of the red flags, with Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar beating both Red Bull cars.
