Lewis Hamilton continued the perfect start to the defence of his world title as he topped a rain-affected Practice Two ahead of the Australian GP. The world champion set the pace with a 1:38.841 on the intermediate tyres, having already been quickest in the days opening session.The car performed well and although we didnt get a huge number of laps in, they were still quite constructive sessions. I was lucky to get a couple of dry laps to get a tiny feeling for what the balance is like around here [in Practice One], which was down to some good work from the team to time my runs right, said Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton video was wrong but Merc wont ask him to changeBut with rain falling throughout the afternoon session, none of the drivers ran on slick tyres - leaving the field acutely short of relevant data heading into the first weekend of the new season.There wasnt much we could learn, admitted Ferraris Sebastian Vettel.Nico Rosberg, however, fared even worse, crashing out in the early stages. Mercedes Nico Rosberg spins at Turn Six The Mercedes driver lit up the rear tyres on the W07 as he crossed the slippery road markings and the car speared into the wall, breaking the front wing which Mercedes hadnt used during Practice One to protect from damage due to a lack of spares.I just accelerated a little too much and I lost the car so that wasnt good. It was good for me that the track didnt dry out so I didnt lose out as a result, so the others didnt get an advantage for tomorrow, Rosberg told Sky Sports F1.Team boss Toto Wolff told Sky Sports F1 that they team would ideally have called Rosberg in for a set of full wets, but the new radio restrictions meant they werent allowed to. Johnny Herbert has an umbrella incident with an Formula 1 fan at Albert Park! Persistent rain during P2 prevented the drivers from venturing onto the dry tyres that had been used in first practice, with all of the best times posted on inters.Williams only sent Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa out late in the session, but only so they could carry out pit stop practice, while neither Renault driver posted a time either. The two Sauber drivers and Toro Rossos Max Verstappen stayed in the garage throughout the 90 minutes.When is the Australian GP on Sky Sports this weekend?McLaren duo Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button were sixth and seventh respectively.For qualifying tomorrow, I think its important that the fans know whats happening, said Button. The fans are a big part of this sport, and its important that they understand the reasons for the change. I reckon some teams and drivers will make mistakes in quali during the next few races, but I think were well prepared. Practice Two timesheet1. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes, 1:38.8412.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- George Springer has more home runs in the past four games than any Kansas City player does this season. Springer homered in his fourth straight game and went 4 for 4 with three RBIs and five runs scored in the Houston Astros 9-2 victory over the Royals on Monday night. "Springer was absolutely tremendous, just line drive after line drive," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "He was special. The two doubles and the home run, the great catch in right field and scoring from second base on a bloop single that not many guys would have been able to score on. He impacted the game in every phase tonight. "This guy is a three-way player. He can impact the game when hes in the batters box. He can impact the game on defence. He can impact the game on the basepaths. He brings it every day, is what I love about him." The Astros have won three straight, matching their longest winning streak this season, and they snapped a six-game losing streak to the Royals. Springer led off the eighth with a home run against Louis Coleman, his fifth homer in four games. The Royals home run leader has four. Springer is the first Houston rookie to homer in four straight games. Lance Berkman was the previous Astros player to do it, in July 2010. "Hes impressive," said Eric Hosmer, robbed by Springer of an extra-base hit with a superb catch to end the seventh inning. "He plays hard and doesnt get cheated at the plate. He drives the ball." Springer also had two doubles and became the first Astros player to score five runs in a game since Cody Ransom on Sept. 24, 2007, against St. Louis. Springer extended his hitting streak to eight games, and is 8 for 16 with 11 RBIs and 10 runs in the past five. It was a magical night for him. "I guess," Springer said. "But at the same time, Im just trying to help the team win and whatever way I can do it, Im happy to help." Scott Feldman (3-2) held the Royals to two runs and eight hits over six innings. "I thought Scott did a tremendous job with his secondary stuff," Porter said.dddddddddddd "His curveball had a really good bite and he did a good job for six strong innings." Royals rookie starter Yordano Ventura was led off the field by a trainer in the third inning after experiencing discomfort in his elbow. The hard-throwing right-hander is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. "He was getting under pitches and his velocity dropped in the third inning," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "I came out and decided to check it. I talked to him in the second inning and he said, Yeah, its good. I went out and he told me he was feeling a little something in the back of his elbow, but its on the outside, not on the inside." Ventura (2-5) went 2 2-3 innings, yielding five runs on seven hits and three walks before being replaced by Michael Mariot. "In the third inning, I threw a few pitches and it started to feel a little weird," Ventura said. "I felt something unnatural. It was a little uncomfortable, unnatural, and I decided to say something." The Astros had a season-high 16 hits, including a career-high four from Marwin Gonzalez, who had a double, an RBI and a run scored. Alex Presley added three hits and Dexter Fowler reached base five times with two hits and three walks. The nine runs matched an Astros season high. Lorenzo Cain had four hits, equaling his career high, and drove in a run for the Royals, who have lost five of seven.
