Vitaly Petrov, R31-05 Free Practice 2:
P11, 1:52.198, 9 laps
Nick Heidfeld, R31-04 Free Practice 2:
P16, 1:54.023, 8 laps
The English weather was ever-present this afternoon, as Vitaly and Nick only managed to total 17 laps between them.
In a washed out second practice session at Silverstone, both drivers had to wait until 14.06 (66 minutes into the session) before they got out on track to test the extreme wet Pirelli tyres.
Vitaly managed to post the best time of the two drivers, with a 1min 55.874secs. Nick, meanwhile, clocked in with a 1min 56.848secs before the drying weather allowed the team to contemplate the use of the inters.
It was on the intermediate tyres that Vitaly secured his P11 with a timed lap of 1min 52.198secs. His counterpart, Nick, meanwhile posted a 1min 54.848secs, allowing him to clinch P16.
It was Ferrari’s Felipe (Massa) who finished ahead of the field with a 1min 49.967secs lap, ahead of Nico (Rosberg) in second and Sauber’s Kamui (Kobayashi) in third.
