After seeing their drivers finish in ninth and seventeenth in the opening Friday practice session the AT&T Williams team would have a slow start to the weekend.

Kazuki was back out with forty minutes left in the session. Heidfeld was now seventh, 1m:20.932, running on the softer tyre seeing Nico drop to tenth. Kazuki was on the softer tyre for this run. The softer tyre would see him improve with a 1m:20.302 but he remained in fourth. Heidfeld was on an improved lap but he would pull into the pit lane remaining in seventh.

Kubica was back out after his engine change running on the softer tyre. He would move up to fourteenth. Nico had pitted having not improved from tenth. Kazuki was still in fourth. Massa was in eleventh and Raikkonen in twelfth. Barrichello was now ninth seeing Nico pushed down to eleventh. Massa was in the pits having work carried out on his front brakes.

Nico was now in seventh with ten minutes left in the session. Sutil would pit as Vettel came back out on the softer tyre. Team-mate Webber would park his car on the side of the track on the Hangar straight ending his session. Hamilton would pit while replays showed Webber making a mistake running over the kerb seeing him stop straight away having damaged his car on the kerb. As the final minutes started the majority of the field were on the track including both Williams drivers. Only Hamilton and Raikkonen remained in their pits. Raikkonen would come out while Piquet would improve up to tenth, 1m:20.608.

Alonso was now fifth pushing Barrichello down into sixth. Nico was now ninth while Kazuki remained in fourth. The session would end and Kazuki would pit. The order was Vettel from Webber, Sutil, Kazuki, Alonso, Barrichello, Hamilton, Trulli, Nico, and Piquet in tenth. An big improvement from Kazuki in this session backed up by Nico's ninth. A positive result for the Williams team as the team completed their Friday practice. It certainly appeared to be a day where the team tried a variety of setup changes over the course of the two sessions, including new front wings.
