British GP - An “overcast” afternoon for the Scuderia

Fernando Alonso completed 32 laps in the second free practice session this afternoon, setting the tenth fastest time of 1.33.494. The session was more of a struggle than anticipated for Scuderia Ferrari as Felipe Massa went off the track in the early part and so was unable to get through his planned programme, meaning all the race simulation and set-up work fell to Alonso only.
The morning rain had gone by the afternoon, leaving cloudy skies at Silverstone, so the teams were able to run the slick tyres, after using Intermediates for their first run while the track was still damp in the first 15 minutes.
Massa began with five laps on the Intermediates and then fitted the Prototype dry tyres. However, after two laps, the Brazilian spun at Stowe corner and hit the barrier, damaging the front end of the car, which signalled the end of his session. His best time was 1.43.466 and he did just seven laps in total.
