Lewis Hamilton enjoyed a strong second practice session at the Spanish Grand Prix as he set the pace by 0.022s ahead of Carlos Sainz.

It seems Mercedes are firmly back in the mix again as they were last time out in Canada when George Russell stormed to pole position before taking the team's first podium of the year.

Lando Norris was within a tenth of Hamilton's top time as he completed the top three in FP2. 

Alpine enjoyed their best day of the year with Pierre Gasly fourth on the timesheets.

Norris pipped Max Verstappen by less than a tenth after going quickest in the first sector, while the Dutchman had a slender advantage in the final two-thirds of the lap.

Sainz completed the top three, but set his best lap on the slower medium tyres.
