An incident filled second practice session at Marina Bay, Singapore saw Sebastian Vettel continue to be fastest. The Red Bull driver was already fastest in the first session earlier today. Jenson Button was second fastest, ahead of Fernando Alonso.

Several drivers had tense moments throughout the session. HRT driver Narain Karthikeyan for instance lost control of his car momentarily and flew over the kerbs of the chicane. Kamui Kobayashi also spun off in the closing seconds but did no damage to his car.

Earlier on, Maldonado ran wide out of the first corner, while his Williams teammate Bruno Senna brushed the wall in turn 19 and broke his left rear suspension, causing a red fleg until the car was pulled off the track.
