[QUOTE="Swami, post: 140035, member: 13"] [SIZE=6][B]Brazilian GP: Lewis Hamilton beaten by Valtteri Bottas in practice[/B][/SIZE] [IMG]https://c.files.bbci.co.uk/09C4/production/_95900520_bensonnew.jpg[/IMG] Valtteri Bottas led Lewis Hamilton to a Mercedes one-two in second practice at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Bottas was just 0.003secs quicker than Hamilton, and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was just 0.073secs off the pace in third. But Ferrari, who still have hopes of wresting the constructors' championship from Mercedes, showed much stronger pace in race trim. Renault's Nico Hulkenberg had a heavy crash at the tricky Juncao corner. The tight left-hander is one of the most important bends on the track, as it leads on to the long, uphill pit straight. Hulkenberg ran a little wide and kept his foot down as the car ran off the kerb on to the grass, which pitched him into the wall. The incident brought out the red flag for six minutes as the wreckage was cleared. It was the only major incident in the session. The Red Bulls of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen were fourth and fifth, ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, with Haas' Romain Grosjean best of the rest ahead of Sauber's Charles Leclerc.
