Humidity: 45%

Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo left the garage as first to make up for his lost track time during FP1 this morning. Sergey Sirotkin was the first driver that recorded a lap time in the Williams.

Kimi Raikkonen drove the first lap time under the 1:45 min on Soft Pirelli tyres. After 10 minutes into the session Raikkonen's lap time was a 1:44.400 min. Which is already almost as fast as the quickest lap time in FP1 and far below the official lap record of 1:46.577 min that was set last year during the race by Sebastian Vettel.

Half an hour into the session Lewis Hamilton was fastest in the Mercedes W09 by a few tenth's when Raikkonen slammed that lap time which was 1:43.355 min and more than 1 second faster than his previous fastest lap time. Mean reason was he used the Supersoft tyres for the first time this weekend.

Home Grand Prix driver Stoffel Vandoorne was having a difficult afternoon again with the McLaren MCL33. The first part of the session there was a technical problem and when he at last could enter the track he was the slowest car of the session.

Hamilton had not a very easy session and was locking up his right-front tyre quite often and caused a flat spot on the Pirelli.

The quickest lap time of last year in FP2 was driven by Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes. He drove a 1:44,753 min.
