India 2012 - Free Practice 2 results - Pérez returns to action, as Vettel tops the times again

Published 26 October 2012 by Christine

It was a second session of speed for Red Bull, with Vettel securing the top spot for afternoon practice as well. Both Felipe Massa and Romain Grosjean spun their respective cars after running off track and onto the astroturf. For Felipe, it meant a ruined set of tyres and some curtailed running. Pérez was apparently feeling better in the afternoon, so he climbed back in the Sauber, finishing the day 12th overall.
