After having been to Sainsbury's I missed the first few minutes of the second practice session! Doesn't matter though cos all the action came in the last few minutes with Tiago putting in an absolute flyer ending the session in 13th place. Take out the test drivers, he would have finished in 9th.

Albers has set a 1:25.738 after six laps. Mondini has done 9 laps on a 1:25.979 and Tiago has 5 laps down on a 1:26.059.  Kubica is currently fastest with a 1.22.636

Tiago and Christijan back on track. Christijan improves 10 10th place! 1.23.499, just in front of Giorgio! He's on a second flying lap too with both sectors one and two faster than previously. He's slowed in the complex but keeps his 10th spot. Stunning lap from Christijan! Tiago appears to be struggling to find the speed.

Drops to 13th but what a final few laps.
