Chinese GP: Hamilton tops wet practice 1
Lewis Hamilton topped the first session of free practice for Sunday's Chinese GP with a lap more than a second and a half quicker than the corresponding session at last year's race.
Most of the quick times came in the last 10 minutes of the session as a dry line emerged after cold weather and drizzle greeted drivers as the session got underway.
