Singapore GP - Practice 2 - Lotus Renault GP ReportBruno Senna, R31-04
P12, 1:50.241s, 31 laps

Vitaly Petrov, R31-06
P14, 1:50.399s, 29 laps

Following the interrupted first session of free practice for the Singapore Grand Prix, Lotus Renault GP got back into its stride in FP2.

After problems with the track shortened FP1, the kerbs were removed from the inside of Turn 13 for the second session. In the heat of the Singapore night, Bruno Senna and Vitaly Petrov duly made up for lost time as they both ran trouble-free for the full 90 minutes.

Bruno spent the first half of the session on the Pirelli 'soft' tyre before switching to the supersofts midway through. His first lap on the softer rubber was his best of the night – 1m 50.241s – and the 12th fastest of the drivers in action. He then put in a long run to complete his day's work.

Vitaly had to sit out some of the morning's shortened session due to problems with the new radiator arrangement so the team reverted to the standard-spec for FP2. He also ran with the soft tyre for the first 45 minutes before a run on the supersofts produced his fastest time, 1m 50.399s. He then finished off his day with a long run, though a glitch meant he was unable to benefit from his KERS.

The fastest car overall was the Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel, who set a lap of 1m 46.374s round the twists and turns of the artificially-lit street circuit.
