F1 Grand Prix, GP India, Buddh International Circuit
Felipe Massa has topped the second free practice session ahead of Sunday's India GP. He edged out Sebastian Vettel, while team mate Fernando Alonso is third quickest. Lewis Hamilton who topped the morning session ended up in 4th.
The session though was red flagged 40 minutes from the end after Jérôme D'Ambrosio ended up in the wall after a slide on a kerb. When he came to a halt, his Virgin car had only 3 wheels left. While D'Ambrosio himself was fine, the car was removed from the circuit before restarting the session 7 minutes later.
