Fernando Alonso admits taking too much kerb as he tried to "maximise" the track is what put him into the barriers in Abu Dhabi.
Following hot on the heels of Sebastian Vettel's crash into the barriers at Turn 1 at the Yas Marina circuit, Alonso had a similar shunt.
However, there was time to get Vettel's car back to the garage and a new front wing fitted, Alonso's session was over.
"I think I braked on the outside of the corner," said the Spaniard.
"There is a kerb on the outside, in braking, and looking at the videos all of us that had incidents there or were running off line, we braked on the outside kerb.
"We try to maximise the track in all the corners, but we need to be very careful in Turn One tomorrow, when we arrive to Q3, and be a little bit calm on that braking."
The double World Champ, though, still finished Practice Two in third place, just 0.385s behind pace-setter Lewis Hamilton.
"Generally speaking the car performed quite well, we had a small Friday with not many set-up changes or anything like that, we were quite comfortable from the beginning, Felipe and me, and time wise I think we should be reasonably competitive tomorrow.
"Maybe the starting position doesn't change because the third row of the grid is maybe our normal position to start.
"But maybe we are a little bit closer than we thought before coming here, because we were quite afraid of this circuit and how competitive we could be here, and it seems that the car is performing well. I'm reasonably happy for that."
