Formula 1: Sebastian Vettel Fastest in Final Practice at Silverstone

In third place, Fernando Alonso was gratifyingly close to the Red Bulls with 1m 31.101s, only 0.143s behind Vettel. Making it a good session for Ferrari, Felipe Massa was fifth on 1m 31.240s, losing out to fourth fastest Nico Rosberg right at the end when the German took his Mercedes round in 1m 31.188s.

Even so, the MP4-25s looked difficult and Hamilton had several moments on his way to an heroic 1m 31.549s for seventh place behind Robert Kubica’s Renault, in which the Pole had lapped in 1m 31.519s. This area of the times was incredibly close, with Michael Schumacher eighth on 1m 31.555s, Pedro de la Rosa a surprise ninth for BMW Sauber on 1m 31.559s and Rubens Barrichello 10th on 1m 31.581s for Williams.

Behind them, Renault’s Vitaly Petrov was in the hunt in 11th with 1m 31.698s ahead of the troubled Jenson Button on 1m 31.703s for McLaren, Nico Hulkenberg in the second Williams on 1m 31.867s, Kamui Kobayashi in the second BMW Sauber on 1m 31.947s and Adrian Sutil on 1m 31.994s for Force India.
