Second practice saw the reign of Mercedes GP Team. Nico Rosberg has been at the top of the time sheet edging Lewis Hamilton by 0.445 seconds. And the biggest suprise of the session is the driver that posted third fastest time of the session, no other then the 7th time world champion Michael Schumacher.
Former world champion Jenson Button post a fourth fastest time of the day. After a slightly dissapointing practice 1 by Sebastian Vettel, he manages to clock the fifth fastest time. The fastest ferrari however is Felipe Massa that only manages to clock 7th fastest time.
Practice 2 again saw the tendency of all the teams to run on heavy fuel loads. And the new sector of the circuit is really giving a lot of trouble to all the teams. Even there are rumors saying that Bridgestone has actually miscalculated the circuit by bringing the wrong tyre compound.
The rumors of Mercedes GP team using "Super diffuser" are also true. But by the look of it, the "super diffuser" is not significantly difference to the other teams double diffuser. However, the only way to see the difference of the diffuser is only by looking right under their car.
Both of the practice today however doesn't really reflect how all the teams will perform in tomorrow's qualifying and let alone the race on Sunday. Let us hope that tomorrow's and Sunday's quali and race will be a cracker. Until then, here is the full result of today second practice:
