The second practice session at Suzuka showed a lot of drivers are tuning their skills by braking to late and going wide in corners. After 17 laps even Raikkonen crashed his Lotus at Dunlop and had to quit for today.
Yet again Vettel could go fastest and Webber showed his new Red Bull RB9 does the job after his car was burned at Korean Grand Prix last Sunday. Mercedes is still hanging in there, but Ferrari has trouble to keep up or is trying to find speed in a different approach.
