It would be tough going for both AT&T Williams drivers in the second practice session for the 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix. Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg would finish in sixteenth and seventeenth.

 
 Malaysian GP Friday 2nd Practice
 

The second Friday practice at the Sepang circuit would neither Williams driver improve but on this occasion it would be Rubens Barrichello leading his team-mate Nico Hulkenberg. Both drivers would say that the day was very difficult with neither driver being able to get the best out of us FW32.

Nico was able to find pace in the first sector of the lap but would lose out in the final two. The team will have a lot of work to do overnight if they hope to find some pace for Saturday's qualifying.
