Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel led second practice of the Monza Grand Prix this afternoon from Fernando Alonso in a Ferrari.

McLaren drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, who were first and third in the first session, led most of the second session but were overtaken when Vettel and Ferrari's Alonso and Massa went out on low fuel and soft tyres.

Vettel was second in the morning.

Hamilton leads the formula one championship, seven points ahead of Red Bull's Mark Webber, with Button, Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso still in the hunt. Webber was sixth this morning and Alonso was eighth.

Hamilton won the last grand prix, in Spa, Belgium, while Button and Vettel gained no points after a collision. (See video).
