But when Hamilton was asked if he would pull the same move should he find himself in a similar position this weekend, Hamilton quoted his hero Ayrton Senna.Absolutely, he said. Im always going to go for the gap. Like Ayrton would always say, If you dont go for the gap, you are no longer a racing driver. I will never stop being a racing driver.A water leak prevented Rosberg from taking part in second practice, but Hamilton doubts it will set his teammate back.ddddddddddddIt depends how good the driver is, he said when asked if losing FP2 was a big setback. Personally, I dont see it being much of a problem for Nico.Hamilton finished the second session 0.391s faster than Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull, but said there was still time to unlock from the car.By this point we very rarely have the balance exactly where we want to have it but it definitely feels good and definitely will go quicker, as others will get quicker as well. I definitely feel like we are in a strong position, Red Bull are very close. ' ' '
