Nico Rosberg has confirmed its status as a driver on a very fast lap in the fastest time in second free practice session in Bahrain. Author of a best time in the first minutes of the session, the German has never been bothered by his early followers, as he fitted a V8 Mercedes. Rosberg ahead of three champions of the world, Lewis Hamilton (+0' '445) Michael Schumacher (+0' '494) and Jenson Button (+0' '667), who drove all over that during the morning session.

Differences not significant:
It must go down to the 7e and 9e ranks to find the Ferrari of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso who did not look at lap times very fast. Times signed by midday were also no particular significance since Mark Webber found at 17e row, more than five seconds of reference time, or Robert Kubica (15e) Pushed to 2''746. Vitaly Petrov and teammate at Renault, a sign of his side a respectable 8e chrono (+1' '341). A hierarchy should be more reliable draw Saturday morning at the third meeting, the last rehearsal before qualifying.

Hispania first!
The team Hispania Racing Team made its first rolling with 17 buckles covered by Bruno Senna. The car of Karun Chandhok not ready, the Brazilian was the only one to defend the colors of his team. No shine, as his best time relegated to 11 seconds over Nico Rosberg. Senna was even forced to stop on the side end of the year when a bolt broke off the rear of his car.
