Brawn GP - Barcelona - Free Practice 2
Free Practice 2 for us this year seems to be about consolidation and trying to hone the cars setup whereas FP1 provides faster lighter setups. Rubens posted the fastest time for Brawn GP on what I believe were hard tyres (I will clarify this) posting a 1:21.843 just a shade behind Jenson's fastest FP1 time. Jenson posted a 1:22.052 in this session 0.464 behind fastest man Nico Rosberg.

Jenson had the following to say after Free Practice 2:
"Qualifying and the race at the important ones. Today is not important to be quickest," Button told reporters after practice. "It's more about getting a good feeling and a good balance.
"I'm not there yet and I'm a bit disappointed with the way the car is at the moment. Hopefully we can improve overnight, I know that we will because we know which direction to go."
