FP2 in Bahrain: will Mercedes do it again?

In a few moments FP2 will start and the drivers will use in this session soft tyres too. We remind you that Felipe Massa was the man to beat in winter testing with 1:33.258, but we have to admit that his time were on supersoft rubber.

Rosberg is now lapping nearly five seconds shy of the pace he and Hamilton were capable of earlier in the session. His team is talking to him about fuel consumption over the radio.

Hamilton manage a 1:34.325 per lap being only 0,2s slower than Raikkonen’ pole last year.
