Hamilton leads a busy Practice session

Lewis Hamilton leads the way in the second practices session in Singapore, followed by Fernando Alonso and Daniel Ricciardo. Sebastian Vettel ony did 5 laps due to engine problems during morning practice.


 

Night and very hot conditions, that is it Singapore, that is it Marina Bay circuit. Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull got closer during this session. Lewis Hamilton led the way with 1 tenth of distance with Alonso and three with Ricciardo, meanwhile Rosberg did a simulation race during the whole session.

 

“The Friday unlucky” came back to 4-time-world-champion Sebastian Vettel, the Red Bull Racing’ driver only did 5 laps at the end of the session.

 

During the practice we saw some spun off from Kamui Kobayashi or Jenson Button who was complaining about understeer all-time. Nothing compared with the crash that Pastor Maldonado had into the barriers. This cause a red flag at the middle of the session. Also Max Chilton had problems with his car after seen how it burns.

 

Next and final practice session will be tomorrow at 11 o’clock (UK time) and the qualifying at 2 o’clock (UK time).
