F1 - Australian GP – Bad weather still the main factor

Wind and rain affect free practice in Melbourne

Melbourne, 18 March – Intermittent rain and strong gusts of wind also affected the second free practice session in #melbourne, which is hosting the first round of the season. On the semi-permanent circuit within Albert Park, the bad weather meant there wasn’t much track action, so that the Scuderia drivers settled for just doing system checks. Both men did just seven laps in one single run on intermediate tyres: Kimi used a new set to post the third fastest time in 1.39.486, while #sebastianvettel was on old rubber, ending up eighth with a time of 1.40.761. Once again, Lewis Hamilton came out on top for Mercedes with a time of 1.38.841, ahead of the Force India of Nico Hulkenberg (1.39.308.)
