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.

Looks good, though I wonder if their race pace problem remains.
