 Due to several rain showers between first and second practice , the track was again wet during the second session , which limited the drivers to using the intermediate tyres only . Hamilton was again fastest , setting a time of 1 : 38 @.@ 841 . Teammate Rosberg crashed at turn seven thirty minutes into the session , damaging a new @-@ specification front wing that the team had deliberately not run in first practice for fear of damage . Rosberg later apologised for the incident , which saw him trying to get back to pit lane , before his team told him to stop on track , calling an early end to his session . Nico Hülkenberg , Räikkönen , Ricciardo and Carlos Sainz , Jr. all finished within one second of Hamilton 's time , while Sergio Pérez was at one point on his way to a new fastest time overall , setting best times in the first two timechecks along the track , before having to slow in the last part of the lap due to heavy rain . The two Manor drivers Pascal Wehrlein and Haryanto covered the highest number of laps , with 24 and 22 laps in 12th and 14th place respectively . Neither Renault nor Williams drivers set a time , albeit going on track . The Sauber cars and Max Verstappen 's Toro Rosso did not leave the garage at all during the session .
