Former world formula 1 champion, Fernando Alonso, in a Ferrari, showed on Friday during the second free practice session for the German Grand Prix to be held Sunday at Hockenheim, that he is determined to get his world championship campaign on track. Alonso set the fastest time in the second practice session that was run in dry conditions compared to the first session that was wet and created problems for some of the drivers.
The Ferrari driver edged out the Red Bull Renault driver and current darling of the German fans, Sebastian Vettel in the second period. Third today was Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari, followed by Mark Webber in the Red Bull Racing Renault.
The two GP Mercedes drivers, Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher were 5th and 6th respectively.
The current points leader, Lewis Hamilton, had a narrow escape in the first session when he crashed on the wet and severely damaged his car. He was able to come back in the second session and finished the day in 7th position.
