Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso traded places during second practice as the Mercedes driver edged the Spaniard by a tenth.
The Briton however wasn’t happy with his car and complained over the radio, but it seems it was good enough to post the fastest lap.
Alonso took second ahead of Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen whilst Sebastian Vettel was fifth quickest despite only completing five laps at the very end of the session thanks to an engine change after FP1.
Pastor Maldonado provided the drama as he often does, crashing at turn 10 and causing heavy damage to his Lotus.
