British GP Prac2: Kovalainen Scores 1 for McLaren

Heikki Kovalainen scored 1 for the McLaren as he leads Practice 2 in the British Grand Prix.

The Ferrari are a significantly slower team in the session, with Felipe Massa ending the day on 8th position. He had a huge shunt this morning and the team was able to repair his car and Massa was able to run for the later part of the Practice 2. Teammate Kimi Räikkönen could be very conservative this weekend as he is using the free engine change and would not be taking any unnecessary chances.

Mark Webber, who just signed another one year contract with Red Bull, was 2nd, ahead of the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton. David Coulthard was 4th fastest in the session, and Nico Rosberg brought his Williams up to the 5th place.

The session was yellow-flagged twice - first being Jarno Trulli's backward crash into the tyre barriers and the second was William's Kazuki Nakajima who left a trail of debris as he drove his car back into the pits after sliding into the wall.
