How did Hamilton perform in FP2?

The Knight brought his A-game to the second practice session of the day. Hamilton found himself second on the timesheet, behind his Mercedes teammate, Valtteri Bottas.

The 7-times world champion is hoping to carry this form on Saturday, as well. But, this time he will aim to top the timesheets in the last practice session, as well as the high intense qualifying session.

Additionally, the Brit can have some breathing space for Sunday’s race, as his arch-rival and title contender, Max Verstappen will be starting from the back of the grid as he got a new power unit.

Hamilton is well aware that he will have to use this opportunity to grab maximum points from the Russian Grand Prix if he wants to regain the lead in the championship.

As it stands, Hamilton has to bridge the 5-point gap that exists between him and the Red Bull prodigy. He knows if he has a stellar quali session on Saturday, he has a good chance of taking all twenty-five points this weekend in Russia
