Monaco GP - Alonso’s Ferrari dominates the second session of practice
Monaco, 26 May – Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari topped the second session of free practice that has just finished on the streets of the principality of Monaco. With a best time of 1.15.123 the Spanish Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro driver dominated the 90 minutes available for the 24 cars on track on the opening day of Round 6 of the F1 world championship. The McLaren of Lewis Hamilton was second (1.15.228), with Nico Rosberg’s Mercedes third (1.15.321). The other 150° Italia of Felipe Massa came in sixth having completed 45 laps with a best of 1.15.781. This has been a good start to the weekend for the team, even if the track conditions can radically change from Thursday to Saturday, as is well known here at Monaco. Both drivers reported a good feeling in the car, which they ran with different fuel loads as they tried out the different tyre compounds including the super soft, which is making its debut in the Monaco race. As usual at Monaco the two Ferrari drivers finished the session with some practice starts on the grid. Now they have a day without track action ahead of them.
The protagonists of this competitive battle will return to the wheels of their cars on Saturday at 11am for the third and final session of free practice. Following after that comes the decisive appointment for qualifying.
