MONACO GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE #2
The second practice session saw more mishaps for a few unlucky drivers. Romain Grosjean was the first to lose control of his car, as he was exiting the famous tunnel. He had slight contact with the barriers and ended up with minor damage to his car.
Sebastian Vettel was another victim of the tight corners of the circuit. He had 2 spins throughout the session and crashed, damaging his rear wing. He radioed his team and told them he had crashed and needed them to get a new wing ready. After that was situated, he was back out on track.
Rio Haryanto had a pretty serious crash after exiting the tunnel. He lost control of the car and slammed into the barriers before he was able to brake and stop the car, luckily not hitting the chicane. Haryanto emerged from the car OK, but his session was over. Kevin Magnussen also crashed in the session.
A bit of a bad-luck situation in Hamilton's garage late in the session. The jack used to hold up the front of the car slipped and fell into the nose of the Mercedes, leaving quite a huge puncture in the body work. The team resorted to sticking some tape over it for the rest of the session.
It was neither of the Mercedes drivers who topped this session. It was Red Bull's, Daniel Ricciardo, who is eager to prove that he can win after watching his new 18-year-old-team-mate, Max Verstappen, get his first ever F1 win in Spain two weeks ago.
