In what was a rather out of place session, it was the BMW's of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld taking the top two slots on the timesheet. Kubica was quickest with a 1:25.613, followed by Heidfeld's 1:25.950. Both drivers were the only ones to break into the 1:25's.
Third was Renault's Fernando Alonso with a 1:26.082 followed by Nico Rosberg for Williams with a 1:26.171. Rosberg's time is even more encouraging for Williams after a troubled first session.
Fifth and sixth were taken by the Red Bull's of David Coulthard and Mark Webber. Seventh went to Jenson Button for a back in form Honda, eighth to Sebastian Vettel for Toro Rosso, a surprising ninth to Giancarlo Fisichella for Force India and the final top ten spot was taken by Toyota's Jarno Trulli.
Both Ferrari's of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa as well as the McLaren's of Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen were strangely out-paced by their rivals and finished 14th, 11th, 12th and 20th respectively.
