| Welcome to F1-Live.com and live coverage of the second Friday practice session in Bahrain. The 90-minute session gets underway shortly. |
| 13:52:12
| Ferrari dominated this morning with Felipe Massa setting the pace for the Italian champions. Massa stopped the clocks in 1:32.233s, just over a tenth clear of team-mate Kimi Raikkonen. |
| 13:54:24
| Williams Toyota vaulted up the order in the final minutes with Nico Rosberg third fastest and Kazuki Nakajima sixth. It remains to be seen if this was a low fuel run, or a reflection of the true pace of the FW30 package. |
| 13:56:06
| Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen were fourth and fifth fastest for McLaren but roughly half a second shy of the Ferrari pace. Robert Kubica was seventh for BMW Sauber ahead of Trulli, Coulthard and Alonso. |
| 13:58:07
| A number of drivers ran wide in the first session, but it was a largely uneventful affair for most with no spins or major mechanical dramas. Super Aguri Honda however only ran in the final ten minutes and predictably, propped up the bottom of the timesheets. |
| 14:00:04

| 14:51:46

| Webber is out on the soft tyre and looking to move up from 16th. |
| 14:56:30
| Webber does find time and moves ninth, just over a second slower than Massa. |
| 15:00:11

| Kovalainen is ninth but now on a better lap. |
| 15:20:18
| Kovalainen moves third in his McLaren. |
| 15:20:50

| 15:21:20
| A big off for Hamilton, the yellow flags are out. |
| 15:21:53
| Rear damage, damage to the right hand side of the car. |
| 15:22:44
| He just lost it after taking too much kerbing and then sideways into the barrier. |

| All but Fisichella and Hamilton on track. |
| 15:28:37
| Alonso improves and is now P12. |
| 15:29:24
| Alonso would have been faster but was baulked by Sutil. |
| 15:29:47
| Massa moves fastest from Raikkonen. |
| 15:30:20
| Sutil and Alonso get together and continue. |
| 15:30:31
| The chequered flag is out. |
| 15:31:21
| Actually it was just Alonso running into the side of Sutil for some reason. Frustration at the previous baulk. |
| 15:31:40
| Coulthard improves and is now seventh. |
| 15:32:27
| So Massa is fastest from Raikkonen, Kovalainen, Hamilton, Kubica, Rosberg, Coulthard, Nakajima, Bourdais and Piquet. |
