Lewis Hamilton has got placed in first position followed by his team mate very closely.
Behind the two Mercedes has repositioned the Ferrari of Alonso, with great rhythm in both laps and pace, although it is already known that Ferrari usually runs with low fuel on Friday, unlike Williams that never do that, in the long runs the Scuderia have shown to be very strong.
The Red Bulls have been very plugged in all day, competing with Toro Rosso and McLaren. Sebastian Vettel has not disputed the FP2 for problems in his car.
For now it seems that the pole tomorrow will be disputed by the two Mercedes, and doubts are whether Williams will emerge and if Fernando can place his Ferrari in a position of second line.
There have been a few surprises in these FP2, including Max Chilton back to get in the Marussia taking away the job of Alexander Rossi. Another has been the Pastor Maldonado crash, which caused a red flag, and another has been the gearbox breaking of Gutierrez, who has spun the post-chicane to the finish line.
