2008 British Grand Prix - 2nd last Race at Silverstone Circuit

McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen was the fastest the way in the second official practice session ahead of the 2008 British Grand Prix, for the Race Day on Sunday, 6th July 2008. FIA has confirmed Silverstone would lose the staging rights to the British Grand Prix after next year's race, with Donington Park taking its place from 2010.

Kovalainen was the only driver to duck under the one minute 20 second barrier this afternoon with a lap of 1min 19.989secs, which was four tenths slower than the overall fastest time set by Ferrari's Felipe Massa this morning as the teams concentrating on longer runs.

Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber celebrated his new one-year contract extension with second place, half a second slower than the Finn, while Kovalainen's team-mate Lewis Hamilton popped up into third place with a late 1:20.543 effort.
