Daniel Ricciardo quickest in FP2, as Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton struggle

BAKU, Azerbaijan -- Daniel Ricciardo set the pace in the second practice session for this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix as Red Bull and Ferrari emerged as the two quickest cars on Friday afternoon.

Ricciardo was 0.069s clear of Kimi Raikkonen in second place as the Chinese Grand Prix winner set a scintillating pace through Baku's tight second sector.

After crashing out in first practice, Max Verstappen was third fastest in second practice but still 0.
