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

RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE #2

It was another good session for Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton topped the time sheets, while Rosberg finished 3rd. Sebastian Vettel split the two Mercedes by finishing 2nd. Vettel, however, did miss some of the session after his car stopped on track when he lost electronics during one of his laps. It was later announced he would need a gearbox change and was handed a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for the race.

Force India are hoping to have a strong weekend, as it will mark 100 races for both Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg sat out FP1 to make way for development driver, Alfonso Celis.
