European Grand Prix: Friday's Second Practice Results


Alonso timed a best lap of 1 minute, 39.404 seconds across two sessions at the Valencia street circuit course to lead overall F1 leader Jenson Button and Brawn GP teammate Rubens Barrichello.

Alonso, a two-time world champion from Spain, was only cleared to race on Monday when F1’s governing body overturned Renault’s one-race ban stemming from a safety incident at the preceding Hungarian GP.

Renault and Ferrari new-boys Romain Grosjean and Luca Badoer ran slowly. Auto Racing Daily

Badoer, 38, is only driving for Ferrari because German legend Michael Schumacher was not considered fit enough to replace the injured Felipe Massa - a neck problem denying the seven-time world champion a sensational return to the sport.
