Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg edged out his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton to top the standings again in a rain-soaked second practice session on Friday at the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix. 

The Englishman was just one hundredth of a second back from the German as Force India's Nico Hulkenberg finished an excellent third at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.

In the morning, Rosberg headed Hamilton by four tenths of a second in an entertaining session full of incident as grip and new kerbs caused problems for a number of drivers.

The Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen sat behind the Mercedes in third and fourth, respectively, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen had problems throughout the session and finished eighth fastest.

With Rosberg heading the timesheets, Hamilton got to within one hundredth of a second as he put in a smart lap 10 minutes from the end of the session.

Having lost a lot of time because of the rain, it was a busy end to the session on track as the drivers looked to get in some decent running.
