Malaysian GP: Free Practice 2 – Webber strikes even harder!
For the second free practice session of the Malaysian Grand Prix, it is Mark Webber, on Red Bull, who sets the best time.
The Australian reiterated his good performance from the morning and this time leads ahead of Button and Hamilton in the two McLarens. Sebastian Vettel is 4th. The Red Bull and McLaren teams set the pace once again ahead of tomorrow’s qualifying day, to be followed live on Motorsinside.com.
The Lotus Renault GP, victims of significant damage this morning due to identical mechanical failures on both cars, were disrupted during this second session of the day. Petrov and Heidfeld were only able to start in the last half-hour of testing this afternoon. Nevertheless, they are ranked in the top 15.
Ferrari drivers are in the top 10. Massa is 6th, five-tenths ahead of Alonso, who is 9th.
The Sauber drivers, very performant in Australia two weeks ago, are surprisingly slow today. They are only 14th and 15th.
Note the non-participation of Jérôme d’Ambrosio with his Virgin due to a mechanical problem experienced in the morning.
