Prac Two: Massa blitzes the competitionFriday 4th April 2008Felipe Massa lead a dominant Ferrari's 1-2 in second practice for the Bahrain GP after deposing his team-mate in the dying seconds of the session.
Massa, who topped the timesheets in the previous practice, lead the way for much of the session before Kimi Raikkonen moved ahead.
The Finn's reign, though, was short-lived as Massa came back to take the top honours by a massive 0.907 seconds over the World Champion.
Heikki Kovalainen was third for McLaren, however, he was 1.332s slower than Massa. His team-mate Lewis Hamilton finished fourth despite a late crash.
Hamilton lost control of his car on the exit of Turn 7 and spun across the track. He hit the barriers on the opposite side-on, which caused severe damage to his MP4-23. The Brit though was unhurt.
Robert Kubica and Nico Rosberg fought for the honour of best of the rest, which eventually went to the BMW driver while David Coulthard and Kazuki Nakajima completed the top eight.
It was an impressive afternoon showing from Toro Rosso's Sebastien Bourdais. The Frenchman had been running as high as third place at one stage before dropping down the order. He still P10, though.
