Welcome to LIVE text commentary of the inaugural Indian Grand Prix Free Practice 2 from the Buddh International Circuit in New Dehli. I'll be taking you through the session in its entirety, and you can get in touch with me at any point to let me know your views and comments on the action -

Thanks for joining us for both sessions of practice today, and be sure to follow the third right here from 06:30 on Saturday morning. In the meantime, check out our

Felipe Massa finishes free practice two with the fastest time as his 1:25.706 takes the second session spoils! The Brazilian tops the timesheet, and that was a consummate display. Vettel is just 0.088 seconds slower than the Ferrari, with Alonso 0.2 seconds off the pace. Hamilton is fourth ahead of Webber and Button, who are all within a second of Massa!

Vettel almost collides with Sutil as he exits the pit lane, and that could have been very embarrassing for both parties! Massa still leads.

Senna runs wide at turn six on the hard tyre as the yellow flag is whisked away and Petrov rejoins the action.

It's a brief yellow flag as a result of that spin off the track from Petrov, and that was pretty inevitable.

Petrov slides off the track as he loses grip entirely, and that does not bode well for the assessment of the circuit.

Massa pits with the fastest time on the board, and the onus is now on Alonso to try to usurp him from third.

Massa leads! The Brazilian sets a new fastest time of 1:25.706 to top the timesheets!

Alonso passes Schumacher exiting turn three, and again he is not afforded a clear lap - will he get one with his next attempt?

Alonso is running faster than Massa through the opening sector, but Massa is also finding a very good pace.

Sutil goes seventh, and this is turning out to be a decent session for the Force with di Resta in ninth.

Alonso goes second, 0.422 seconds slower than Vettel. He looked set for the fastest lap of the session, but Schumacher held him up.

Massa improves once more to go second, but Alonso looks set to make a real impact as he finds a cracking early pace...

Hamilton's fastest time is 1:26.454, but that is still well off Vettel's best of 1:25.794.

Both Schumacher and Rosberg were quick on the soft tyre this morning, but Schumacher has been very subdued thus far.

Hamilton builds up his speed as he moves ahead of Massa - second quickest for the session.

Buemi endures an almost comical lap as he runs very wide on three separate occasions!

Hamilton re-emerges for another run, and he will be very keen to outstrip Massa and Vettel now.

Massa goes second quickest, but he remains 0.269 seconds slower than Vettel on soft tyres.

Alonso remains the only driver to post a seriously competitive time with the hard tyres, and he remains in the pits.
