Current World Champion Lewis Hamilton has been fastest in both practice sessions at the Australian F1 Grand Prix. He crossed the finish line more than four tenths of a second ahead of Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg. Hamilton’s team-mate Nico Rosberg crashed his Mercedes in second practice. The damp conditions meant his mistake was not as costly as it could have been.
