Nico Rosberg revelled in his return to home soil by topping the times in Friday’s second free practice for this weekend’s German Grand Prix.
The in-form German was fastest in the morning session by three-tenths of a second. And he again dominated in the second session, repeating the feat by four-tenths in the afternoon with a flawless demonstration of smooth precision on the technical Hockenheim track.
Just five days after losing the lead in this year’s drivers’ championship for the first time, it was a perfect ‘bounce-back’ by the 31-year-old Mercedes man.
