Published 7 September 2012 by Christine

Lewis Hamilton took over the top spot for second practice, with McLaren securing a 1-2 in the timesheets. Fernando Alonso was third, but the Ferrari driver was struggling with reliability problems on both the brakes and the gearbox. D'Ambrosio closed the gap to his new teammate, finishing the day 12th to Räikkönen's 6th, and it was a good afternoon for Force India who napped 7th and 8th in the final Friday session.
