Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG F1 W05

A real action packed practice session with cars in barriers, spins, red flags and even a rain in the end.

Since the Mercedes drivers were out they have claimed first two rows and gave no chance to other drivers being the only one out of 1 minute and 36 seconds.

Two other Mercedes-powered cars of Jenson Button and Valtteri Bottas ended this session in third and fourth respectively.
