FP2: Hamilton and Rosberg lead again in Bahrain
Lewis Hamilton was fastest yet again as second practice came to a close in Bahrain, once again topping the times ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg. The Briton’s best was over three-tenths quicker than his German team-mate could manage, whilst those behind fell further back compared to FP1. Rosberg however will need to visit the stewards after he was deemed to have blocked Sergio Perez during the Force India’s flying lap. It was Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso who came third yet again, but a time of 1:35.360 was well off Hamilton’s best and points toward another dominant race from the Mercedes duo. Daniel Ricciardo was the best placed Red Bull in fourth, whilst Sebastian Vettel could only manage seventh, a tenth off his team-mate. Lotus had an eventful session with Romain Grosjean complaining of a misfire, whilst team-mate Pastor Maldonado went airborne as he hit the kerbs at turn four a little too quickly.
