Red Bull dominated Friday’s second session, with both Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber almost a second quicker than the Lotus of Romain Grosjean.
Both Vettel and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso suffered right-rear punctures late in FP2 around Turn 14. Pirelli suspect both were caused by debris on the track.Tyre choice here is the hard (orange markings) and medium (white) compounds.
So, at the end of final practice it is still Red Bull leading the way, but Ferrari looking very much in the hunt as Alonso splits Vettel and Webber with just two-tenths separating the three.
It all bodes well for a very competitive qualifying session, which may or may not be wet. Join us again in just under two hours’ time to see who will take pole at Spa-Francorchamps.
