Mark Webber thinks that rivals McLaren are hiding their true qualifying potential after dropping off the pace in Friday's second free practice session for the Spanish Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button finished first and second fastest respectively after the first session but ended further down the order in the afternoon as the Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Webber dominated.

"I haven't particular seen a huge amount of what has happened in that session, but for sure McLaren probably weren't showing everything today," said Webber.

Webber, who finished the day second quickest, said it ha been a trouble free day for the team as it looks to improve on third place in the constructors' standings.

"Yeah, certainly a smooth one from both sides of the garage. That is a nice positive for the team. They have done a huge amount of work over the last few months, as all the teams have.

"Particularly last night, the guys worked like hell, very, very late night for our team and the boys deserve a smooth Friday. We have some stuff to go through tonight and hopefully will be well prepared for tomorrow.

He added: "It was a good day. We had a smooth run and nice to have a good P1 and P2 with no interruptions from the weather. The guys worked faultlessly in the garage, the driver did a little bit of his work as well and it was a good day for us."
