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

HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE #2

    Weather was perfect for the second practice session. The track had dried up and there were minimal clouds in the sky. Both Gutierrez and Magnussen returned to their cars after making way for Leclerc and Ocon in the first practice session.

    Red Flags were waved when Lewis Hamilton had a minor crash into the tyre barriers at Turn 11. However, Hamilton managed to drive away from the accident. His session was over as there was damage to the car. He went to the on-site medical centre for precautionary checks and was release soon after with no injuries.

    Fernando Alonso and Jolyon Palmer were both sidelined with mechanical issues and missed some of the session. Alonso's McLaren was up on the stands for awhile with the floor off and Palmer's Renault had suffered a fuel sensor issue.

    Near the end of the session, Sainz and Nasr also encountered problems and both stopped off-track. Their cars were pushed away through run-off areas with the help of the circuit marshals.

    With Hamilton missing most of the session, it was only one Mercedes car at the top of the time sheets. Nico Rosberg set the quickest time, a 1:20.435. Following close behind were Ricciardo and Vettel.
