Mercedes topped the timesheet for the second time today as Nico Rosberg was quickest in practice two of the Hungarian Grand Prix, but there were problems for Lewis Hamilton as he crashed early in the session.

Hamilton, who sits one point behind teammate Rosberg in the driver rankings, was fastest in the first practice.

The Brit failed to improve on his time in the later session of the day, though, as he smashed into the barriers after losing control at Turn 11.

Rosberg manoeuvred around the track 0.595 seconds faster than Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull, recording a time of 1:20.435, while Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was third quickest and Max Verstappen fourth.

Hamilton, who has won in Hungary four times, set the fifth-fastest time before having to abandon the practice, while Kimi Raikkonen was more than one second behind the best time of the session.
