13:50:18 Welcome to F1-Live.com and coverage of the second 90-minute practice session ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix.
13:52:34 Practice this morning saw mixed fortunes in the Ferrari camp with Felipe Massa setting the pace with a best time of 1:27.323s while Kimi Raikkonen only completed three laps before pitting with a gearbox problem. He was subsequently slowest of the 20 runners.
13:54:30 McLaren Mercedes looked reasonably strong on cold tyres but had no answer to Massa’s pace over the longer stint. Heikki Kovalainen was second fastest a tenth of a second behind Massa using the softer option tyre while Lewis Hamilton was third fastest.
13:56:23 Fernando Alonso was fourth fastest showing that his Barcelona pace was not a one-off for Renault while Jenson Button was fifth best ahead of Kazuki Nakajima, Nick Heidfeld and Rubens Barrichello.
13:57:11 Robert Kubica was just 12th in his BMW Sauber as he ended his session early while the Red Bull Renault team were down in 16th and 17th with Mark Webber and David Coulthard.
13:59:23 Unlike this morning, we have rain at Istanbul Park.
14:00:10 The second practice session is now underway.
14:01:10 There is no rush onto the circuit.
14:01:49 The rain is light but combined with the cool temperatures, makes for tricky conditions.
14:02:09 Jarno Trulli rolls out of the pit lane in his Toyota.
14:02:55 The circuit is damp, not wet.
14:03:12 Timo Glock joins his team-mate on track.
14:04:01 Trulli is straight back in. He and Glock are on intermediate tyres.
14:04:27 Jenson Button is going out in his Honda.
14:05:49 The early runners have returned to the pit.
14:06:17 Now Toro Rosso send out Sebstien Bourdais and Sebastian Vettel for an inspection lap.
14:07:36 Bourdais starts a timed lap. His best this morning was a 1:30.4s.
14:07:50 Vettel too on a timed lap.
14:09:04 Bourdais records a 1:37.7 on the intermediate rubber.
14:09:21 Raikkonen heads out on the same tyres.
14:09:34 Vettel pits his STR2B.
14:10:05 Bourdais has backed off and is heading back to the pits.
14:11:38 Kimi Raikkonen pits the Ferrari without setting a time. He was probably checking the gearbox following problems this morning.
14:12:53 The circuit is still damp in parts but if there is any rain it is very light and the circuit should dry.
14:15:40 The drivers are waiting to see if the circuit will dry and allow them to resume the programme with normal dry weather tyres.
14:17:57 Raikkonen heads back out infront of the few dozen people in the stands.
14:18:25 Raikkonen is out on the harder dry tyres.
14:19:16 Raikkonen starts a timed lap.
14:19:33 Force India have sent out Fisichella and Sutil
14:20:23 Fisichella is to have a three position grid penalty on Sunday after leaving the pit lane this morning before the green light was displayed.
14:21:03 Raikkonen is now fastest from Fisichella and Sutil.
14:21:13 Fisichella is on the soft tyre.
14:22:00 The circuit must be pretty dry for Rakkonen to lap within two seconds of Massa's morning best.
14:22:17 Nick Heidfeld is now on track for BMW Sauber.
14:23:59 Raikkonen improves his own best time to a 1:27.8, the fourth fastest time of the day.
14:24:18 Felipe Massa is now out in the second Ferrari.
14:24:50 Hamilton, Barrichello, Rosberg and others now heading out.
14:25:19 Heidfeld moves second fastest ahead of Fisichella.
14:26:10 Hamilton looks on the limit as he passes a BMW and a Williams.
14:26:30 The McLaren driver moves second fastest.
14:27:24 Hamilton continues and the McLaren seems very pointy, the car moving around on the front end.
14:27:49 Massa os now third fastest ahead of Glock, Heidfeld, Trulli and Barrichello.
14:28:19 Massa runs wide into turn one.
14:28:34 All on track now but Raikkonen who has pitted.
14:28:47 Alonso moves fourth fastest.
14:29:56 Kubica now takes over the fourth position from Button and Alonso as they all get up to speed.
14:30:50 Kovalainen is on the soft tyre as he moves from the tail of the timesheets to P5. Adrian Sutil has a moment in turn 8.
14:31:00 Mark Webber has crashed.
14:31:08 The red flag is out.
14:32:01 Webber ran wide exiting turn six and nosed hard into the tyre wall. He is out of the car and okay but tha car is badly damaged.
14:32:47 The RB4 has broken both the front right and left suspension and wheels.
14:34:22 Webber's Red Bull now needs to be removed before the session can resume.
14:37:23 The session is now back underway.
14:38:01 Kovalainen is straight back out.
14:38:42 Webber's RB4 is being hoisted onto a flatbed truck now in the infield.
14:39:01 Vettel, yet to set a time, is back on track.
14:39:52 Kovalainen is on the soft tyre as Kubica and others head out.
14:40:46 Kovalainen improves to P3.
14:42:42 A big gain from Coulthard who moves fifth fastest on the hard tyre.
14:43:10 Kubica gets out of shape but keeps the BMW on track.
14:43:52 Kubca in on a better lap this time around.
14:44:10 Kovalainen has pitted, Hamilton is on track.
14:45:36 Glock moves into the top ten in his Toyota.
14:45:49 Alonso locks up and runs wide.
14:46:26 A gain from Button who is now seventh in the leading Honda.
14:48:25 Alonso improves and is now sixth fastest.
14:49:35 Massa is now second on the timesheets making it a Ferrari one-two.
14:51:01 Trulli is way down in 17th position but is back out in his Toyota looking to make progress.
14:52:22 Hamilton remains on track but is unable to close the gap to Kovalainen or the Ferrari duo at the moment.
14:52:41 Trulli moves his Toyota into the top ten.
14:54:27 Kubica (8th) is now on the soft tyre.
14:56:02 Kubica picks up three positions and is now fifth overall.
14:59:09 Giancarlo Fisichella moves 14th in his Force India. This is the stage of the session where they are on longer stints, so not a lot of fast lap times coming in.
14:59:51 Rosberg has yet to show much pace in his Williams. He is currently 16th and is now looking to improve.
15:01:08 Rosberg does improve as he is now up to P9.
15:02:16 Coulthard gains three positions and is now third on the soft tyre as Kovalainen runs wide through turn one.
15:02:44 Bourdais has a moment as he bounces across the grass.
15:06:01 Raikkonen remains fastest from Coulthard, Kovalainen, Hamilton and Kubica as Piquet runs off track once again.
15:10:09 Kovlainen has improved and is now third behind the Ferrari duo.
15:11:06 Massa improves his own best but remains second to Raikkonen who is in the pits.
15:13:05 Piquet has improved but he seems to be struggling with the balance of the Renault.
15:15:32 Heidfeld is 11th at the moment in the second BMW Sauber. He is back out.
15:15:44 15 minutes remain.
15:16:01 Heidfeld moves into the top ten.
15:16:36 Adrian Sutil has not been out for a long time. He is slowest of the 20 runners at the moment.
15:16:58 Trulli clips the kerbing at the end of the lap and has a half spin.
15:17:28 Rosberg runs off track in his Williams.
15:18:06 Rosberg moves sixth even with his small off. He is on the softer tyre.
15:19:07 Jenson Button runs wide and runs a few hundred metres on the grass before rejoining.
15:20:26 Kovalainen is back out on the soft tyre and needs to find a full half second if he is to move ahead of the Ferrari duo.
15:21:49 No gain for Kovalainen but his McLaren looks to have a much better balance than Hamilton's MP4-23.
15:23:27 Ficihella has put in a lot of running. Team-mate Sutil is not running apparently with a mechanical issue.
15:24:25 Massa's morning time of 1:27.3 remains the fastest time of the day so far.
15:25:04 Glock (13th) understeers off track at turn four and breaks his front wing.
15:26:11 Nakajima is on track and looking to improve on P10.
15:26:47 Glock has returned to the pits for a new front wing.
15:27:06 Hamilton, P5, has taken the soft tyre and is on a fast lap.
15:27:52 Hamilton moves second fastest despite a moment mid-lap.
15:28:55 Rosberg's earlier time has been removed as he cut a corner.
15:29:17 Raikkonen is on the soft tyre.
15:29:49 A slow lap from Raikkonen on that tyre.
15:30:05 The chequered flag is out.
15:30:27 Massa is in the pit, others on final laps.
15:30:52 Coulthard is on a fast lap in his RB4.
15:31:08 Coulthard moves fourth fastest.
15:32:56 So we have Raikkonen fastest from Hamilton, Massa, Coulthard, Kovalainen, Kubica, Trulli, Nakajima, Alonso and Heidfeld.
