Vettel heads Red Bull 1-2 in second session

12/10/2012

Ahead of today's second session, the air temperature is 21 degrees C, while the track temperature is 29 degrees.

Lewis Hamilton led the way this morning, ahead of Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber, in a session which saw plenty of lock-ups and offs as the drivers struggled with the green and excessively dusty track surface.

A number of teams are running updates here, most notably Lotus and Williams, both of whom are trying new exhausts.

The tyres on off this weekend are soft and supersoft, however, the softer option has yet to make an appearance today.

Having handed over their cars to the reserve drivers this morning, this afternoon Nico Hulkenberg, Bruno Senna, Vitaly Petrov and Narain Karthikeyan get their first taste of Yeongam 2012.

Showing all the eagerness the team displayed this morning, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton is first out for this session, followed by Raikkonen and Glock. The German was sidelined for much of this morning's session as his team changed his steering rack.

Within moments of the green light there are eighteen drivers on track.

Drivers are told not to slow in the final corner if entering the pitlane - the warning coming straight from Charlie Whiting.
