Australian GP: Free Practice 2 - Re-Cap & Times

AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE #2

    Lewis Hamilton topped the second practice session on Friday afternoon while team-mate, Nico Rosberg, crashed his Mercedes into the wall while running the new nose-spec on the car. The nose had been avoided during the continuous rainy conditions, but Rosberg attempted to run it anyways and ended up with severe damage to his car. Rosberg was OK but missed the session.

    Force India had a good session with both cars in the top 10. Hulkenberg finishing high up in 2nd and Perez in 9th. McLaren also did well with Alonso in 6th and Button in 7th. While most teams ran in the rain, 7 cars did not set times, including both Saubers and both Williams.
