British Grand Prix Practice 2 Preview 2012


A wet track led to a total washout in FP1, with Romain Grosjean leading the way from Daniel Riccardo mainly due to getting the best of the conditions. Having tipped Red Bull to be the fastest car, there was hope for us when the Australian took the lead, but he failed to set a lap once again and as such we never got to see his real pace, with his fastest lap being a second off Grosjean but still good enough for sixth. The fact that Sergio Perez got fourth in the session may be testament to how many leaps he ran but it’s a good sign for his wet weather pace and he might be one to keep an eye on. With the reception of Vettel’s burst in Europe, P2 has gone to McLaren or Mercedes on every single occasion at the eight Grand Prix’s we’ve had so far. With neither car so good in the wet it’s hard to be confident but Lewis Hamilton was close to the pace in the 1st session and with Mclaren needing data in the wet at the Grand Prix they will want to win most of all, he should get some time out. Fernando Alonso too would be very interesting if getting the time he needs at the wheel and should be considered in play, while Schumacher would also be interesting in that situation, having won 2 sessions this year.

Advice

1 pt Lewis Hamilton (4/1 general)
