| Max Verstappen |
Max Verstappen delighted the many Dutch fans who made the trek to Spa to cheer him on to victory in the Belgium GP by turning the fastest lap in the 2nd Spa practice session Friday afternoon.
Verstappen's lap of 1m48.085s was 2/10ths up on teammate Red Bull Daniel Riccardo with Nico Hulkenberg 3rd quick.
Sebastian Vettel slotted in 4th for Ferrari ahead of Sergio Perez in the 2nd Force India. Both Force Indias are benefiting from the huge power put out by the Mercedes Power Unit.
Mercedes doesn't have as many supersofts this weekend as their rivals, and were the only team not to use them in this session so the Mercedes were down in sixth and 13th (with Hamilton 1.7s down on Verstappen)
Over long runs Red Bull also looked very competitive, while Ferrari appeared a good match for Mercedes when on the same rubber. Game on for Saturday!
