Abu Dhabi: Hamilton stays ahead of Rosberg in practice 2

Lewis Hamilton nipped Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg in both Friday practice sessions for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Rosberg ended up just 83 thousandths of a second slower than his Mercedes teammate, who again were in a league of their own with the car being 99.99% of the equation.

Kevin Magnussen made it a Mercedes 1-2-3 in third place ahead of Sebastian Vettel.

Valtteri Bottas was fifth fastest, just under a second off the pace, beating the second Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo.

Kimi Raikkonen was seventh fastest for Ferrari, and his teammate Fernando Alonso stopped after two laps with an engine problem.
