Scruffy Hamilton second to Bottas after mistakes: British GP FP2 Results

Valtteri Bottas emerged from a blustery second practice session for the British Grand Prix as the fastest man on-track, as several drivers – including Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton – struggled to keep to the track limits.

Hamilton ran off-track at Chapel when he looked set to better Bottas' top time.

Having topped the timesheets in FP1, Pierre Gasly once again went quicker than Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen, who also struggled to get the softs switched on. The Frenchman was fifth, behind the Ferrari's of Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel.

McLaren once again assumed 'best of the rest' status, with Lando Norris in sixth ahead of Verstappen – a solid response after his comical trip into the gravel during a show run in a McLaren super car on Thursday.
