Hamilton: No excuses at Monaco

Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso headed Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes to set the pace in a rain-disrupted second practice at the Monaco Grand Prix.

The Spaniard beat Hamilton by 0.419 seconds in a frantic final 10 minutes of dry running after heavy rain disrupted the session.

Alonso broke Mercedes’ domination of 2014 practice sessions with a daring lap on a semi-dry track.
