| Welcome to F1-Live.com and coverage of the second practice session of the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. |
| 13:52:07
| Kimi Raikkonen dominated proceedings this morning in his Ferrari, recording a best lap of 1:47.339s from McLaren rivals Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso who were over half a second adrift. |
| 13:54:07
| Felipe Massa meanwhile hit problems early on and was unable to complete a timed lap. Massa’s F2007 seemed to suffer a mechanical failure on his first timed lap and the Brazilian was unable to negotiate Rivage. He nosed the Ferrari gently into the tyres and that was the end of his session. |
| 13:56:18
| A number of drivers made gains late in the session on soft tyres including Nick Heidfeld and Nico Rosberg for BMW Sauber and Williams Toyota as they set the fourth and fifth fastest times. Robert Kubica was sixth fastest ahead of Alex Wurz, Jarno Trulli, Heikki Kovalainen and Jenson Button. |
| 13:58:14
| Tonio Liuzzi was another to have a troubled session as he went off at Rivage as well, this time due to driver error, and damaged the front left suspension on his Toro Rosso. Team-mate Sebastian Vettel was 16th fastest. |

| 14:40:35
| Raikkonen pits as Massa regains the second spot. |
