Rosberg got used to it

Even though it is even warmer this afternoon, the track surface is much cleaner than in the morning. The drivers will therefore be able to improve the times set during the first session.

Après une demi-heure plutôt calme, les Toyota lancent les hostilités. Timo Glock, en 1?33??787, prend les commandes de la séance devant son équipier Jarno Trulli. Quelques minutes plus tard, Trulli chausse des pneus super-tendres et parvient à déloger Glock de la position de pointe, avec un tour bouclé en 1?33??699. Les deux Toyota mènent devant Rubens Barrichello, Mark Webber et Adrian Sutil.

Jarno Trulli, very lively, returns to the track and the Italian further improves his time: 1:33:616.

Sebastian Vettel then interferes between the two Toyotas. The situation remained stable until the 66th minute of the session. The strong man of free practice, Nico Rosberg, strikes again. Also equipped with “super-soft” tires, the German took control of the session in 1:33:339.

The last minutes are very lively. Fernando Alonso, discreet until then, manages to move up to second place, but no one is able to challenge Nico Rosberg's first position. Like the pilot Williams has often made a habit of it since the start of the season, he finished this first day in the lead, ahead of Fernando Alonso, Jarno Trulli, Sebastian Vettel, Mark Webber, Jenson Button and the surprising Adrian Sutil.

The differences are very small. Last, Nick Heidfeld is only 1??4 behind the leader, Nico Rosberg.
