F1 Spain, the news of FP2
Five different cars in the top five positions: this is the first verdict that emerges from FP2 at Montmeló, where Lewis prevails Hamilton with a time of 1:13.264.
In a hotly contested session, the seven-time world champion confirmed the good impressions that Mercedes has made in recent events, despite the controversy over an alleged unequal treatment between Sir Lewis and George Russell. Hamilton once again proves to be among the fastest in free practice (he had led FP3 in Montreal and FP1 in Monte-Carlo), it will now be up to the future Ferrari driver and Mercedes to repeat themselves when it matters most.
