Vettel tops 2nd practice for the Belgian GP
Unlike the morning practice session, Friday afternoon was bright and sunny for the 2nd practice at Spa for Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix. Despite missing the end of the 90-minute session due to a right-rear puncture of his Pirelli medium tire with 20 minutes remaining, Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel was fastest pretty much throughout the session and ended up on top with a time of 1m49.331s.
His teammate Mark Webber was second just 0.059 sec behind. Romain Grosjean (Lotus) and Felipe Massa (Ferrari) were 3rd and 4th and Jean Eric Vergne rounded out the top-5 for Toro Rosso.
