Brazilian Felipe Massa of Ferrari was third-fastest ahead of local hero German Sebastian Vettel, 22, and his Red Bull team-mate Australian Mark Webber.
Finn Kimi Raikkonen, in the second Ferrari, was sixth. Rubens Barrichello were content to work on final settings ahead of Saturday afternoon’s qualifying session and clocked 13th best times respectively.
That disparity confirmed that Hamilton was running with a light fuel load in order to clock fast laps and enthuse the German crowd packed into the circuit in the Eifel mountains to support Mercedes-Benz.
And while Hamilton enjoyed his second session on top, it was bad news for BMW Sauber - also trying to impress their home crowd - as the Munich-badged team struggled badly. New Straits Time
