Alonso leads practice for German GP
Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso of Spain drove the fastest lap in Friday’s practice session for the German Grand Prix.
The afternoon session was held in much drier conditions after the wet run in the morning, and drivers were about 10 seconds faster.
Alonso, who was 19th in the morning, bounced back to clock 1 minute, 16.265 seconds in the afternoon, showing that Ferrari may be capable of challenging McLaren and Red Bull on the 4.6-kilometer (2.8-mile) Hockenheimring circuit.
Sebastian Vettel of Germany prevented a 1-2 for Ferrari by taking second in his Red Bull with a best lap of 1:16.294.
Felipe Massa of Brazil was third in his Ferrari in 1:16.438, while the second Red Bull, driven by Mark Webber of Australia, was fourth in 1:16.585. Webber won the British Grand Prix two weeks ago.
Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher, the German drivers for Mercedes, followed in fifth and sixth.
The top two drivers in the standings, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, lagged behind in their McLarens.
Hamilton was seventh and Button, the defending champion, 15th.
Hamilton leads the standings with 145 points, followed by Button on 133, Webber with 128 and Vettel on 121.
Sunday’s German GP is the 11th of the season’s 19 races.
