Massa ended McLaren’s domination of this week’s testing at Hockenheim by finishing with the quickest time of the day on Thursday. He was the only man to put in a time under 1 minute 15 seconds. Jenson Button was the surprise of the day – the Brit finished with the second quickest time of the day, just a few tenths behind Massa.

Lewis Hamilton continues to be the man to beat, finishing top of the times on the second day of testing at Hockenheim. The Brit was running without the anvil wing and put in a quickest time of 1:14.872, more than six tenths quicker than his best effort on Tuesday and the only time of the day under 1 minute 15. Rosberg finished the day with the second quickest time, just ahead of the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen.

Lewis Hamilton is continuing his good run of form, leading the way at the first day of testing at Hockenheim. The British driver has been testing out a new engine cover design which has been nicknamed the ‘anvil’ engine cover thanks to it’s shape. McLaren are following in the footsteps of Red Bull Racing who began the trend, a trend which has been copied by Renault and Force India so far.
