McLaren's Jenson Button set the fastest time of 1m.16.595s ahead of Sunday's German GrandPrix. The session was disrupted by rain so like the British GrandPrix two week's ago it could be another wet weekend in Germany. Jenson's team-mate Lewis Hamilton was second with Fernando Alonso in third. It was a disappointing first session for British GrandPrix winner Mark Webber who was down in 20th place, however the team are testing different part's so they will be very quick for the rest of the weekend I reckon.
The Lotus team have been testing new part's on Kimi Raikkonen's car. He had a new double DRS rear wing fitted to his car this morning, however due to the tricky conditions he only managed the flying lap and ended the session in 15th place while team-mate Romain Grosjean who has a 5 place grid penalty tomorrow was in 10th place in the second E20.
Meanwhile Michael Schumacher was fourth for Mercedes with Sergio Perez in 5th.
In my opinion it is is a mistake to read into the times set on Friday as it's really saturday morning a qualifying that are the sessions that count as Friday morning is used for set-up work and it gives the team's a chance to evaluate new update's for the weekend.
Sebastian Vettel for example was down in 12 place in his RedBull. We will have a better understanding of the order for the weekend at the conclusion of FP2 this afternoon.
I will keep you updated on the the times from FP2 later today.
