| A happy Lewis Hamilton at Spa |
Lewis Hamilton topped the second practice for the Belgian Grand Prix, outpacing Formula 1 title rival Nico Rosberg by six tenths of a second in the afternoon.
The 90-minute session was interrupted by two red flags during the first half-hour of running, the first caused by a crash for Pastor Maldonado and the second by Esteban Gutierrez's spin.
Fernando Alonso was third fastest ahead of Felipe Massa, for Williams.
Jenson Button ended up fifth fastest, 1.470s down.
Valtteri Bottas was sixth fastest in the second Williams, ahead of Daniil Kvyat.
Sebastian Vettel was forced to sit out the session in his red Bull Renault lemon This has forced an engine change, which the team did not have the time to do before the afternoon's running.
