F1 GP Great Britain, Free Practice 2: Rosberg the fastest, then the Ferraris
Raikkonen second ahead of Vettel and Hamilton
Best time for Nico Rosberg also in the second free practice session of the Formula 1 British GP. The German from Mercedes, after gearbox problems in the morning, lapped in 1.34.155 ahead of the two Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel. Fourth time for Lewis Hamilton's other Mercedes.
Fifth and sixth times for the Red Bull Racings of Kvyat and Ricciardo, ahead of Max Verstappen (Toro Rosso) and Nico Hulkenberg (Force India). Carlos Sainz is ninth with the other Toro Rosso ahead of Felipe Massa's Williams.
Session interrupted twice by the red flag, first due to an exit by Grosjean at Luffield and then at the same point due to an error by Mehri, who was temporarily stopped with his Manor.
McLaren still in difficulty with Fernando Alonso 15th and Jenson Button 17th.
