Canadian GP: Free Practice 2 - Re-Cap & Results

Alright, now it's time for a quick re-cap of FP2. Like I mentioned, we were unable to do coverage of this session and we're sincerely sorry. We hope to make up for it with this article and we will attempt to bring you commentary for FP3!

So, in this session, Rossi handed Kamui's car back, making it all 22 regular drivers for this session. The temperature had risen since FP1 and there was no sign of rain.

Kamui Kobayashi was having some problems with this session, where he spun at one point and then later on lost a piece from under his back wing. It practically just fell off, onto the circuit. Quite unfortunate, but the team is sure to have his car ready for FP3. His team-mate, Marcus Ericsson, stopped on track in the session.

Pastor Maldonado had issues as well, as he was unable to make it past Pit-Lane, before the team called him back and pushed the car back into the garage. Later they replaced his rear wing. 

There was only a minor inccident that involved Adrian Sutil and Kevin Magnussen. While Magnussen had the track pretty much to himself, he was rounding the chicane at a slower-than-usual speed, and Adrian Sutil came from behind and had to run off the kerb to avoid smashing into the back of the McLaren. 

So, now on to the times.
