   1.5sec is the gap to reach top 3? It seems an aby$$.

      top 3 drivers from a team outside the top3 teams? The slowest of the top 3 teams drivers is only 0.5 ahead of Perez.

   Hamilton fastest – Hamilton breaks track record.

   Vettel fastest with similar gap – Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull covered by a tenth.

   It’s practise guys! Stop hyping things up just yet and these articles could do with less fan boyish titles. Things can turn out very different on Sunday.

      @mamba I don’t understand your objection at all.

      This sport is about the pursuit of speed, among other things. Hamilton broke the track record today. How can you possibly suggest that is not newsworthy?

         @keithcollantine four cars broke the original lap record today. To me singling out just one of them seems to be a bit biased. Yes Hamilton was the fastest but as with FP1 things are very tight at the top. The title to me just seemed a bit too biased to the events that occurred. I’m sorry if my comment was taken offensive – I clearly was a bit hot headed at the time so could certainly have phrased things much better. Please accept my apologies. I just wanted to point out the fact that things are very close with four cars breaking the lap record and not just one as the title would suggest.

            The new track record should be the headline (especially as the driver in question was the previous record holder)? Did you not read the rest?

            Lewis Hamilton established a new track record for the Yas Marina circuit in second practice, beating the previous best time he set six years ago.

            But Ferrari and Red Bull weren’t far off the pace of the Mercedes. Both the red cars lapped under Hamilton’s 2011 time of 1’38.434 and Daniel Ricciardo was inside it as well.

      @mamba That’s funny.. The headline is probably the least “fan boyish” in the entire F1 media mate….

         You’re wright but bias in most media towards Hamilton is so ridiculous sometimrs that you take your frustration out on the wrong people.

   Loving the Perez-Ocon delta, basically nothing between them.

   Any information about the rear problems Verstappen’s RB13 had? He complained about his rear tires, the engineers spent a lot of time on the rear section of the RB13 but i do not see any info .
   He was off pace by a considerable margin. Compared with his first FP performance remarkable.
