Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton topped the charts in second practice at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix, while his team-mate Nico Rosberg had to sit the session out due to reliability issues.

The absence of Rosberg in the afternoon meant the home crowd favourite was comfortably the quickest man on track, ahead of the Red Bull pair of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen in second and third, respectively.

Hamilton was fastest earlier in the day, too, although Rosberg did show some pace in the morning; the German finished just 0.033 seconds behind his team-mate at the end of FP1.

Here is a closer look at how things panned out at Silverstone and the standings in full from both sessions.

The team confirmed on their Twitter feed there was a “small water leak” from the car, which prevented the world championship leader from getting out on track. And despite teasers that the German would emerge, with the bodywork up and the driver out of the car it was stated he would not be in action on Friday afternoon.

But once his absence was confirmed, the Mercedes man retired to a television to take in the rest of the action:



The diagnosis didn’t look good for Rosberg, though. “The gearbox is off Rosberg's car,” said Allan McNish of BBC Sport. “It is obviously a major issue. Everyone is happy on one side of the garage and the other side looks like having a long night ahead of them.”
