F1: Red Bull duo set fastest times at Silverstone

6-19-2009

by René Fagnan , Auto123.com

The Red Bull Racing team has extended their domination in the second free practice session of the Grand Prix of Great Britain held at Silverstone.

Mark Webber set the fastest lap time early in the session before setting very quick lap times during a long stint. The Australian was only beaten by his teammate, Sebastian Vettel who set his quick lap time on a fresh set of soft tires.

Force India’s Adrian Sutil took a superb third, lapping the Silverstone circuit 0.6 seconds slower than Vettel however.

Kazuki Nakajima was fourth in his Williams-Toyota, ahead of Renault's Fernando Alonso and Rubens Barrichello in the best of the Brawn-Mercedes. The Brazilian's championship-leading teammate Jenson Button was only 13th.

The Ferraris endured a most disappointing time with Felipe Massa in 17th place and Kimi Raikkonen in 18th position…
