Vettel fastest in Second Practice

Sebastian vettel and Red-Bull started of the 2013 season from where they had left last year and both the red-bull cars were on pace from the word go. Mclaren seem to be the biggest losers as they struggled to match the likes of Ferrari,Lotus,Mercedes and Red-Bull in both the practice sessions.Martin Whitmarsh even admitted that there is a definite concern among the Mclaren engineers regarding the pace and balance of the new Mclaren.

Ferrari and Lotus look consistent and fast on the long runs. On shorter runs both the teams look decent and are likely to be the long runners in the race.

Mercedes again have come out with a very fast car which is very quick on the short runs and is matching the pace of the red-bulls. But, like last year there seems to be problems regarding reliability as both Hamilton and Nico stopped near the end of FP2. Nico Rosberg seems to have problems with his gearbox while Hamilton ran of the track and hit the barriers at turn 6.
