Session two belonged to Vettel as he ended it with the fastest time. Although, despite this, he faced more car problems which saw him miss the end of the session. However, Ferrari's pace is looking quite well against the Mercedes duo. Raikkonen finished the session in 3rd.
Both McLaren's also experienced mechanical issues as well. Button's car lost power and they brought him back into the pit-lane. The team later told Alonso to "Box, Box" as they came to realize the problem was transferable and could affect his car as well.
Lotus is looking good with their pace this weekend. Pastor Maldonado finished the session in 4th and Grosjean, who sat out the first session so Jolyon Palmer could take the wheel, returned in this session and was 7th fastest.
And who could forget the commotion in the pit-lane when Felipe Massa almost ran into Ferrari's team principal? No one was injured and the two had a laugh later on, but it sure was a talking point.
Here are the times from the session.
