Sao Paulo: Lewis Hamilton, who is just one race away to be crowned as the youngest-ever formula one champion did not have a very good 2nd practice session.
In fact Renault's Fernando Alondo proved to be the fastest. There was little to separate Felipe Massa & Alonso. With the Ferrari driver coming in 2nd fastest Lewis Hamilton had a bad session, finishing 9th at practice.
"I think it's quite a bit different to last year. Simply because last year we came here and I'd had one bad race and so it was all a bit hectic and the pressure of it being the last race was upon me and perhaps it got to me.
This year, I feel it's just another race. So it is and we've come from a great race in China and I know that here we'll be just as strong if not a little bit stronger," says Lewis Hamilton.
The 23 year old Englishman goes into the Brazillian Grand Prix with a 7 point lead over Massa. Hamilton will be looking to change last year's script when he famously missed out on the championship in his maiden season against the same man Felipe Massa, the qualifying for the final grand prix of the year is later tonight.
Hamilton, who can become the sport's youngest champion after blowing his chance last year, was second and just 0.190 off his rival's pace in a cool and overcast session in which he had set the early pace. Ferrari's outgoing champion Kimi Raikkonen, the Finn who made up a seven point deficit in Brazil last year to beat the Briton by a single point, was third despite a spin.
