His name at the top of the afternoon time sheets will give Mercedes hope they can stop Verstappen pulling further ahead in the drivers` standings. But the seven-time world champion is wary of reading too much into Friday`s positive showing by the two Silver Arrows.

World champion Lewis Hamilton bounced back from a poor morning session to set the fastest time in second free practice for the Austrian Grand Prix in Spielberg on Friday. Hamilton clocked a quickest lap of 1min 04.523sec which was 0.189sec up on his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas with championship leader Max Verstappen in third 0.217sec back.
The Red Bull driver, who is looking for an Austrian double after winning last weekend`s Styrian Grand Prix on the same circuit, was over half a second quicker than Hamilton in the opening session with the Briton running only seventh. Hamilton trails Verstappen by 18 points in the title race, with in-form Red Bull aiming for a fifth consecutive win on Sunday.
