Brazilian GP: Vettel leads Red Bull 1-2 in Practice 1
 |
Sebastian Vettel set the pace in the opening free practice session of this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos in his Red Bull Renault.
Championship leader Fernando Alonso was only 12th with Ferrari apparently electing to take it easy this early in the weekend.
Alonso parked his car out on track in the final minute of the session due to concerns over the engine, though the team had already stated that it will change the engine in his car before this afternoon's FP2.
