Kimi Raikkonen was fastest in the second free practice session, followed by both Red Bulls and Fernando Alonso. The teams have been very active, first performing tests on low fuel (first with the hard and then with the medium) and then with a higher amount.
The Ferraris, who had led the first free, set the fastest time on the hard tyre. Felipe Massa’s car has performed particularly nervous, which is an unusual thing in his driving style. With the soft, Fernando Alonso has finished 4th at less than two tenths behind Raikkonen’s time, which indicates how tight will be the fight for pole tomorrow.
The Force India continue to surprise, 5th and 9th, while this time the Mercedes (Hamilton 8th and Rosberg 10th) and McLaren (Button 11th and Perez 13th) have been further away from the front positions.
