Webber quickest in second F1 practice

http://motogp-f1-races.blogspot.com
Australian Mark Webber set the fastest time of the day during Friday's second practice for Sunday's British Grand Prix.

The 33-year-old Red Bull driver, fourth fastest in the morning, posted a time of 1min 31.234sec, 55 minutes into the session, but was then forced to spend the remaining time in the pits after a warning light appeared on his car.

Once Webber had set his time, it is now understood that teams began to focus more on race pace rather than qualifying.

Spaniard Fernando Alonso, who, contrary to his team-mate Brazilian Felipe Massa, had opted to run without the f-duct, and was second fastest for Ferrari followed by the German Sebastian Vettel in the second Red Bull, with less than seven-tenths of a second separating the top three drivers.

Massa was fourth quickest in the second Ferrari ahead of the Mercedes drivers Germans Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher who were fifth and sixth quickest respectively.

Russian Vitaly Petrov of Renault was the seventh quickest, whilst crowd favourite McLaren driver Briton Lewis Hamilton wound up eighth fastest.

German Adrian Sutil of Force India finished with ninth fastest ahead of Williams driver Brazilian Rubens Barichello.

Briton Jenson Button finished the session 13th quickest as the McLaren pair appeared to struggle to get to grips with their car's latest modifications.
