FP2: Vettel sets the pace in Italian practice
| Friday 10th September 2010, 14:48 |
Sebastian Vettel put in a late charge to take the top spot away from Fernando Alonso, who headed his team-mate as both put in quick times in the closing stages of the session.
The Brazilian had a scary moment into the final bend as he ran wide narrowly missing the barrier before recovering to the pitlane.
The two McLaren's came in fourth and fifth.
Mark Webber stopped on track with a loss of water pressure, curbing his running for the afternoon.
The surprise of the top ten was Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian topped Robert Kubica's Renault by just one thousandth of a second.
