Nico Rosberg continued to be the dominant driver in the second Monaco practice this afternoon, ending his session 0.318s clear of Lewis Hamilton.
Nico, who also topped the time sheet in the morning, lapped his Mercedes in 1:14.759s, that is a second and a half better than the morning session. He was able to do that thanks to a combination of the track rubbering in and the use of Pirelli’s supersoft tyres. Hamilton’s 1:15.077s put him in front of Fernando Alonso’s 1:15.196s for Ferrari, with Felipe Massa making it a good day for the Scuderia by claiming fourth with 1:15.278s.
Red Bull best driver was Mark Webber who lapped in 1:15.404s as Sebastian Vettel – whose car was worked on during the session – continued to struggle as he remain at the bottom half of the top 10 with a ninth-best time of 1:16.014s. At this point we cannot exclude the fact that the Red Bull’s were sandbagging, but that will be revealed on Saturday.
