The second free practice session of the 2013 United States Grand Prix began without fog.<\/p>\n

Heikki Kovalainen and Nico H\u00fclkenberg are the first on track. A few minutes later, it’s Romain Grosjean who takes the lead in this session, which he ultimately has to give up to Sebastian Vettel. The Frenchman is using a special helmet, also for the first time during this second session.<\/p>\n

**After 17 minutes** and after a scare in turns 8 and 9, Lewis Hamilton takes the second position. **Ten minutes later**, Charles Pic and Esteban Gutierrez are the first to switch to medium (white) tires, followed later by Heikki Kovalainen and Nico H\u00fclkenberg; the German immediately sets the second provisional time. Nico Rosberg takes the lead before Mark Webber eventually surpasses him, on mediums.<\/p>\n

After forty minutes<\/b>, Vettel still hasn’t fitted the medium tires, which he does 5 minutes later. However, being hampered, he returns to the pits. Kovalainen sets the provisional fourth-fastest time, two-tenths ahead of Grosjean. Vettel finally manages to complete a clean lap: 1:37.305, it’s the best time!<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the drivers began long stint series, loaded with fuel. The lap times hardly changed and, apart from a few small errors here and there, there was little to report during the last half-hour, except for the immobilization of Max Chilton’s Marussia less than 10 minutes before the end of the session, with brake discs on fire: he reported that the brake pedal sank, leading to a mistake. There were some difficulties removing the Russian car, which H\u00fclkenberg and Massa pointed out over the radio…<\/p>\n

The session concludes with a complete status quo, Vettel ahead of Webber and the two Mercedes. Kovalainen takes a promising fifth place, preceding the Saubers, Grosjean, Button, and Alonso struggling with the traction of his Ferrari.<\/p>\n
