FP2 comes kicking and screaming into the world at two o'clock this afternoon, and the sun's gone into hiding. We're a bit chilly at the moment and the wind's picked up. It feels a little like the weather we had during testing last week, so Fisi might want to be careful out there.

Alonso's earlier blowup caused much havoc, especially with Massa's rear end. We're hoping for a whole lot of on track action as teams and drivers play catchup for the lost time.

Vettel gets much respect for his mornings effort, while Piquet seems to be on a high after his points finish in France. Will Ferrari have time to get Massa running again though?

Today's second 90 minute session should give us a better idea as to what's what this weekend. From 2pm in the UK we'll be following all the action somewhere near a fast section of the track, while live timing details the facts and ITV provides the video coverage.

Shout if you're around this afternoon, we'll be checking as frequently as possible.
