Nico Rosberg capitalised upon Lewis Hamilton's unfortunate crash to end Friday's second practice as the fastest driver in contention ahead of Sunday's 2016 Hungarian Grand Prix.

There was a red flag on the track after Hamilton span off the track at Turn 11, just four laps into the session, and he didn't return to the track, per Sky Sports F1:



Hamilton was the pace-setter at the time of his early exit, but Rosberg bounded into the lead shortly after his departure with a terrific lap of one minute, 20.435 seconds.

The official Formula 1 Twitter account provided a breakdown of the fastest times recorded in second practice, with Red Bull duo Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen also taking advantage to finish second and fourth respectively:



    

2nd Practice Recap Hamilton was the star man in Friday's first practice session, and despite limping back to the pits following his spin-out on Turn 11 in the second session, Sky Sports reported the three-time world champion was "fine" afterward.

The Briton's crash was perhaps a freak incident, but Rosberg picked up the slack with a leaderboard-topping time. Needless to say, Mercedes were more than content with their one remaining driver's performance:



Sebastian Vettel did Ferrari proud in climbing to P3 in second practice, although he was still more than one-and-a-half seconds slower than the leader's pace.

Williams reserve driver Paul di Resta reiterated to Sky Sports just how far behind Mercedes the Italians are in the Formula 1 hierarchy: 

They aren't in the same ballpark as Mercedes, nowhere near. They need to try to beat Red Bull and then get a better start the Mercedes cars. But even then they would struggle to beat them. Mercedes have a one-second pace advantage and if you multiply that by the length of a race they are a fair way down the road. Article Source: Bleacher Report - Formula 1
