British GP FP 2: Carlos Sainz On Top At Silverstone As Max Verstappen Remains Confident
Carlos Sainz upstaged local hero Lewis Hamilton to top the times for Ferrari in Friday's second practice at the British Grand Prix, outpacing his Mercedes rival by just over a tenth of a second on a wet and windy day. The Spaniard, recording his first session-topping time since the Australian Grand Prix in April, clocked a best lap of one minute and 28.952 seconds to beat the seven-time champion, who appeared to have rediscovered his verve, by 0.163 seconds. It was an uplifting day for Sainz, who was frustrated two weeks ago in Canada where he was fastest in the race, but unable to pass Max Verstappen's Red Bull to win.
