Europe 2011 - Free Practice 2 - Red Bull look good on pace as Valencia practice continues
Published by Christine
FP1 saw Mark Webber go fastest, whilst Sebastian Vettel finished way down the order in 16th. It was a morning of third drivers, with Chandhok taking the opportunity to get in the car, but failing to set a laptime, Hülkenberg crashing Di Resta's Force India, and Daniel Ricciardo being the only one to keep up with his teammate.
Free Practice 2 will likely see more of the same, as drivers figure out their new tyre compounds, and get to grips with the dirty surface of the track. 90 minutes of action will begin at 1pm GMT+1.

One to Watch
Paul di Resta had to give his car to Hülkenberg this morning, and the German went and bashed it into the wall. How will Di Resta do now he's got his car back - will it be patched up and ready to roll? Or will he suffer a similar fate?
