Felipe Massa dominated the second practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Friday with a time that was 1..3secs faster than Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella. It remains to be seen whether the Ferraris are really that much faster than the Renaults - but there is little to suggest otherwise. Robert Doornbos gave Dutch fans something to cheer about with fourth fastest ahead of Anthony Davidson (Honda), Ralf Schumacher and Jarno Trulli (Toyota), Michael Schumacher and Nick Heidfeld. The BMW driver was just faster than his newly-appointed running mate Robert Kubica. The session was marked by Fisichella having a spin while Fernando Alonso found himself in a bit of a tizzy with Doornbos and slow suddenly in front of the Dutchman, indicating that the usually cool Spaniard may be feeling the pressure at the moment. Midland's Christijan Albers stopped out on the race track.
