McLaren's Lewis Hamilton led his three fellow title contenders in the second practice session Friday at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Hamilton clocked 1 minute, 40.888 seconds on the Yas Marina circuit, making him 0.257 seconds quicker than the Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel.

"The car feels good, so I'm hopeful for a good qualifying result tomorrow afternoon," Hamilton said. "Our pace is closer to (Red Bull's) than it's ever been. Of all the weekends this year, this time I really feel like we really do have the right package to challenge the fastest cars."

Fernando Alonso and Vettel's Red Bull teammate Mark Webber finished the session in third and fourth place respectively as darkness fell.

"It was a good day in terms of how competitive we are," Alonso said. "For sure Red Bull are still the favorites for tomorrow." The four title contenders were divided by 0.427 seconds.
