Sutil tops timing in second free practice for Italian GP

German Adrian Sutil topped the times for Force India in yesterday's second free practice session for Sunday's Italian Grand Prix. The 26-year-old driver from Starnberg clocked a best time of one minute and 23.924 seconds to outpace nearest rival Frenchman Romain Grosjean of Renault by two-tenths of a second, confirming the team's strong recent form.

Two-time champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso was third fastest in the other Renault on a day when the French team were at the centre of a major controversy over events at last year's Singapore Grand Prix.u00a0
