Fernando Alonso before the track dried

Ferrari showed they may indeed be back in the hunt by finishing 1st and 3rd in the second free practice session for the German Grand Prix.

Fernando Alonso was fastest but his Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa was not far behind.

Splitting them in second was Sebastian Vettel, who recovered from a wild ride that saw him run through the gravel at the entry to the stadium.

The German then had several attempts at Alonso's 1m16.265s, but simply couldn't quite beat him – just 0.029s shy.
