Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the second session of free practice for the Canadian Grand Prix. Paul di Resta finished on top of the morning’s times on an increasingly drying track so expect the times to tumble even further in this session.

Session over and Alonso is quickest in FP2 from Hamilton, Grosjean, Webber and Rosberg. Join us tomorrow at 15.00 BST, 10.00 local time for FP3.
1'
Looks like a problem for Bianchi late on with brake dust coming from his Marussia.
2'
Hamilton told by his engineer to push late on to see how those tyres fare but he has to back off with Webber the quicker man behind him.
3'
Raikkonen also done for the day. He doesn’t like that soft pedal.
4'
Webber still going for it on the medium tyre and going close to the wall. No holding back from the Aussie late on.
5'
@WilliamsF1Team: Longer runs for both cars now to end the session to see how the tyres perform
6'
Maldonado runs wide at turn 1. The Williams currently 14th quickest.
7'
And Button also pits with that gearbox issue. Session over for the McLaren man too.
8'
Di Resta’s session is over and he won’t be back out again so a mixed day for the Scot.
9'
Button complaining that he tried to select seventh gear and it went into neutral. It’s reported as a gearbox sensor issue. Not good!
10'
So with ten minutes remaining there will be no change in the times. It’s Alonso from Grosjean, Hamilton, Webber and Rosberg.
11'
Raikkonen’s problem was down to the brake pedal being too soft, according to the Finn.
12'
Vettel staying out on the mediums and runs wide at the hairpin.
13'
Mercedes staying out longer than the Red Bulls and running consistently in the 1:19s. Looking good.
14'
So the times look set fair and Alonso should remain quickest now.
15'
A replay shows Raikkonen locking up and cutting through the chicane. He’s currently 11th quickest.
16'
The rain isn’t heavy enough yet to see the end of dry running as Hamilton persists with the super softs.
18'
Webber’s engineer reporting light rain at the final chicane and pit straight.
19'
Hamilton and Rosberg seem to be a second off the Red Bulls. Perhaps running heavier fuel loads and seeing how long those tyres can last.
21'
Massa back on the mediums but locks up and runs wide.
