Mercedes has dominated the second free practice for the Spanish Grand Prix as well. Lewis Hamilton is back to great form, as he claimed top spot with a 1:20.802. Team mate Valtteri Bottas was less then one tenth slower. Red Bull Racing seems to have closed the gap a bit, but Ferrari is still the main challenger for reigning world champion Mercedes. Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel both went through the gravel and complained about gusts of wind.
