Webber had led the way for much of the session, hitting the top of the timesheets a third of the way through the hour and half. He held the position until two minutes before the end when his time was destroyed by 0.914s.

Felipe Massa finished in third place, ahead of Heikki Kovalainen and David Coulthard. Kimi Raikkonen, the fastest man in practice one, ended the day in sixth place.

Hamilton was soon setting the pace in sweltering temperatures with Webber down in fifth, but the Australian soon revealed good pace in the Red Bull by bettering the Briton's time on his second run.

Kovalainen's McLaren was also going well and Nico Rosberg's Williams showed up well in the first half of the session, but Fernando Alonso slipped back after going fourth fastest early.

Big surprise for me there having a Red Bull driver come second but as I keep making the point, this season I am predicting an all out war between all teams and not just the two main teams...but yesterday Jensen Button said that he beleived Honda were on the right track, this evidence shows that he was dead wrong, they need to step it up, 11th really isn't good enough.
