Monza: Lewis Hamilton topped the times for McLaren in Friday’s second practice session ahead of this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, the Briton bouncing back from his errant and luckless display in Belgium with a forceful performance.
He was followed by the two Ferraris of two-time champion Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, although it was a troubled day for Alonso who suffered an engine failure in the morning.
Veteran Michael Schumacher topped the times for Mercedes – and then endured brake and gearbox problems in the afternoon. Nico Rosberg was fifth fastest for Mercedes ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, in the leading Lotus, with Paul Di Resta seventh for Force India ahead of team-mate Nico Hulkenberg. (AFP)
