By on

Sebastian Vettel recovered from a troubled first practice session to set the fastest time of the afternoon at Spielberg, Austria. Nico Rosberg was second fastest with Raikkonen in the other Ferrari third on the timing sheet.

World Champion Lewis Hamilton went 5th fastest, surprisingly slotting in behind Pastor Maldonado who put some smiles on the faces in the Lotus pit garage.

At the back, both McLaren's continued to struggle and completed the least amount of laps, both at 17 laps whereas Nico Rosberg and Carlos Sainz were the busiest drivers this afternoon, both managing 50 laps in the 90 minute session.
