Practice Review

It was the same story as in Russia two weeks back, with the Mercedes duo once again dominating both the sessions with Hamilton leading Rosberg in FP1 and FP2.

The Ferrari of Fernando Alonso was the closest to the Mercedes pair, with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Williams's Filipe Massa rounding off the top five.

Sebastian Vettel is going to have a difficult weekend as he is set to start the race from the pit lane owing to a new power unit in his car. The German driver struggled during practice as he bedded in his new unit.

Ferrari is set to resume its battle for the third place in the Constructors' Championship with Williams and more importantly, Rosberg will be keen to end Hamilton four race winning streak and make up some ground in the title race.
