Euro GP Practice 1: Vettel tops the time-sheets

Vettel puts in another impressive performance

Sebastian Vettel in a Scuderia Toro Rosso set the fastest time in Friday Practice One at the new Valencia street circuit with a time of 1:40:6.

 The young German was a force to be reckoned with throughout the 90-minute session, managing to upstage the big-guns on three seperate occasions.

Vettel got his Toro Rosso hooked up to beat the best efforts by the Ferrari of Felippe Massa who ended the session second quickest, and the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton who took third despite a spin.

Kimi Raikkonen in his Ferrari was unable to make an impression on his team mate, the McLaren pair and the BMW Sauber of Robert Kubica and consistently set times approximately six tenths of a second slower. 

In his last attempt, Massa managed to top the times, but his lap was immediately followed up by another quick lap by Vettel, who beat Massa’s time by 0.009.
