Sebastian Vettel was fastest in the second practice session as Webber completed a Red Bull one-two. The team looked unbeatable in the dry conditions, while Ferrari drivers Alonso and Massa finished fourth and fifth.

Jenson Button followed them in sixth, while Lewis Hamilton recovered from crashing for the third weekend in a row to set the 13th-fastest time of the session.

Friday practice at Suzuka was a chance to test parts, simply because on Saturday the track is set to be attacked by storms.

The dry day that was experienced today is likely to be unimportant in the context of the weekend, as the sessions are supposedly going to be very wet.

Jaime Alguersuari, Jarno Trulli, and Sakon Yamamoto got the first practice session under way, as all the drivers set installation laps.

After a large amount of anticipation for the first timed lap of the session, Yamamoto set the first fastest time, which was 1:42.950, with 27 minutes gone.

He narrowly beat that time by just over one second a minute later, before Belgian test driver Jérôme d'Ambrosio set the second fastest lap for Virgin Racing with an hour to go. Hulkenberg then beat the time by over five seconds to temporarily head to the top of the time sheets.

Local favourite Kamui Kobayashi, who sold over 1,000 tickets for the Kamui Kobayashi stand at the track, beat Hulkenberg's time by 0.1 seconds, while Buemi set the third fastest time and Senna set the slowest time of the session. Kobayashi then extended his lead over Hulkenberg in second.

Vitaly Petrov set the fifth fastest time on his first flying lap, before being beaten by d'Ambrosio and Trulli. However, he fought back to fourth place, while Massa set his first fastest lap with 53 minutes to go, sending him into fourth place.

Hulkenberg then set the fastest time from Kobayashi, who slid off the track at Degner.

Barrichello and Kovalainen joined the people setting times...
