Brazilian GP: Hamilton tops practice 2
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton topped the second free practice session for the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos.
World champion Sebastian Vettel was second for Red Bull, just 0.167 seconds off Hamilton's pace, and just ahead of RBR teammate Mark Webber. Vettel is the best bet for pole tomorrow as he aims to break the tie he has with Nigel Mansell for most poles in a season, but Hamilton will make it hard for him.
Fernando Alonso fourth for Ferrari, with Michael Schumacher fifth, once again beating Nico Rosberg.
Felipe Massa sixth for Ferrari, while Jenson Button was seventh in the second McLaren.
Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) and the Force Indias of Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta completed the top 10.
