The pair were separated by just 3 tenths, with Daniel Ricciardo continuing to be their closest challenger in the Red Bull; 7 tenths the gap between the Australian and Rosberg.<\/p>\n
Nico’s session was ended rather abruptly after he suffered a scary tyre blowout at Blanchimont; one of the fastest corners on the circuit as the drivers reach speeds of up to 200mph. Thankfully the blowout only resulted in a high-speed spin rather than contact with a wall. The red flag was bought out to clear the track of tyre debris.<\/p>\n Daniil Kvyat and Kimi Raikkonen continued to show reasonable pace in 4th and 5th. The pair were just over a second off of Rosberg at the top of the time-sheets. Nico Hulkenberg was 6th fastest for Force India ahead of Romain Grosjean in the Lotus.<\/p>\n Sauber looked to be more competitive now that they have received upgraded Ferrari engines. Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr were 8th and 9th in the session; but Ericsson’s session ended prematurely after the Swedish driver put the car in the wall at Pouhon. The car was quite heavily damaged, with Marcus apologizing to the team on the radio soon after the impact.<\/p>\n Sebastian Vettel was only 10th fastest in the second session and seemed as though he was slower than his newly resigned team-mate Kimi Raikkonen so far this weekend. He was 1.5 seconds down on Rosberg’s fastest time in P1.<\/p>\n Practice 2 times:<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n| \n POS<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Driver<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Team<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Time<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Laps<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 1<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Nico Rosberg<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Mercedes<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’49.385<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 19<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 2<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Lewis Hamilton<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Mercedes<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’49.687<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 23<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Daniel Ricciardo<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Red Bull<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.136<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 15<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 4<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Daniil Kvyat<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Red Bull<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.399<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 18<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 5<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Kimi Raikkonen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Ferrari<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.461<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 23<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Nico Hulkenberg<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Force India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.461<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 21<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 7<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Romain Grosjean<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Lotus<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.489<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 21<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 8<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Marcus Ericsson<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Sauber<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.709<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 18<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 9<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Felipe Nasr<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Sauber<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.928<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 24<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 10<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Sebastian Vettel<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Ferrari<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.940<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 23<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 11<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Sergio Perez<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Force India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’50.971<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 21<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 12<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Carlos Sainz<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Toro Rosso<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’51.037<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 24<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 13<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Max Verstappen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Toro Rosso<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’51.117<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 25<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 14<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Valtteri Bottas<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Williams<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’51.250<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 25<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 15<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Pastor Maldonado<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Lotus<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’51.317<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 16<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 16<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Felipe Massa<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Williams<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’51.588<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 26<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 17<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Jenson Button<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n McLaren<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’51.854<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 16<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 18<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Fernando Alonso<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n McLaren<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’52.570<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 14<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 19<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Will Stevens<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Manor<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’54.065<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 17<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n 20<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Roberto Merhi<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Manor<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1’54.253<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 14<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Formula One has returned after its 3 week summer break for the two Friday practice sessions for the 2015 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps.
