2010 BELGIAN GP: ALONSO FASTEST ON RAIN AND DRY SPA

SECOND FREE PRACTICEFernando Alonso fastest and on dry Spa circuitFernando Alonso made the most of a dry Spa Francorchamps circuit to set the fastest time of the second session of free practice, the Ferrari driver clocking a 1:49.032 to finish ahead of Adrian Sutil and Lewis Hamilton on his very last lap. With only little rain falling at the start of the session, the conditions were considerably better than in the morning so some teams, including Ferrari, went out with intermediates.With his tyres up to optimum temperature, Alonso bettered his time from the first session to become the first driver to break below the two minute barrier. Lewis Hamilton followed Alonso’s lead shortly afterwards, going quickest with a 1:59.397 just as Timo Glock and Antonio Liuzzi became the first drivers to slither off the circuit, proving conditions were still treacherous. With the track drying rapidly in the Belgian sunshine, so the lap times tumbled accordingly. Robert Kubica making the most of Renault’s new F-duct to top the timesheets from Mark Webber, Felipe Massa and Michael Schumacher on the half hour mark.
