Hamilton tops as loose drain cover halts practice

A LOOSE drain cover threw a spanner in the works of yesterday’s second practice session ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix.

The session was halted for 28 minutes as workmen, overseen by race director Charlie Whiting, re-fitted and sealed the cover at turn 10 of the Istanbul Park circuit.

At the end of the 90-minute run it was Lewis Hamilton who finished on top of the timesheets, although Kimi Raikkonen had earlier set the fastest time of the day.
