Hamilton leads Rosberg in second practice
F1 Grand Prix, GP Germany, Hockenheimring
As Mercedes continued to lead the pack in FP2, Lewis Hamilton was now ahead of his teammate, albeit with a tiny margin. Behind the Silver Arrows, Daniel Ricciardo edged closer, reducing Mercedes' advantage to just a tenth of a second.
Kamui Kobayashi completed the least number of laps in the second session as his car came to a half after just 12 laps. The smoking Caterham was later during the session retrieved back in the team's garage, commencing investigations into the issue that caused his stoppage.
