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

Free Practice 2 - Re-Cap & Results: 

Second session of the weekend is now finished and once again, no major signs of the Typhoon. There was some light rain at the end of the session, but everything else was OK.

However, there was a lot of accidents in this session. Kamui Kobayashi, Esteban Gutierrez and Daniel Ricciardo all had mishaps where their car ended up in the barriers. It was mostly due to the rears either locking up or sliding out. All drivers were unharmed. The cars, however, not so much. Lots of work will take place before Free Practice 3, tomorrow.

Jean-Eric Vergne was able to go out, but his session was halted after 3 laps, when his car stopped. After some work, he was back out until 3 minutes remained in the session, then his car stopped again an that was session over for everybody due to it being Red Flagged to retrieve JEV's car.

It was another Mercedes 1-2 at Suzuka and both Lewis and Nico look strong for this weekend, however, Ferrari is looking strong as well.
