Nico Rosberg's golden run continued unbroken on Friday when he topped the times ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in second free practice session for this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix. The 30-year-old German leader of this year's title race, who is 43 points ahead of defending three-time champion Hamilton, clocked a best lap in one minute and 23.922 seconds.
This enabled him to outpace Finn Raikkonen by 0.254 seconds and Hamilton by seven-tenths, ample proof that he has the pace and edge to extend his winning sequence to five races this year and eight in all in Sunday's contest at the Circuit de Catalunya.
