MELBOURNE, Australia - Mercedes dominated both Friday practice sessions ahead of the season-opening 2015 Australian GP as other teams wrestled with mechanical problems - and even a legal dispute.
Nico Rosberg set the fastest time during the second practice session - as he did in the first - at Melbourne's Albert Park circuit, just a 0.1sec ahead of team mate Lewis Hamilton, as the team lived up to expectations of continued dominance in 2015.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were next fastest but well off Mercedes' pace. Third-placed Vettel was seven-tenths behind Rosberg.
