BARCELONA, Spain -- Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time in second practice for the Spanish Grand Prix in an unusual session that featured mistakes from the top drivers on their fastest laps.
Hamilton finished the afternoon 0.133s ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, but both drivers made a mistake at Turn 7 on their hot laps on the super-soft tyres. As a result, both drivers' fastest time was set on the soft compound - the second fastest on offer at the grand prix this weekend - and not the super-soft.
Max Verstappen secured third place, 0.274s off Hamilton, but also made a mistake at Turn 7 on his first run using the super-soft tyres.
