Brazilian GP: Webber fastest in practice 1

Mark Webber topped the opening practice session for the Brazilian Grand Prix at a dry and sunny Interlagos in Sao Paulo.

Webber's lap of 1m13.811s was just fast enough to beat the two McLarens of Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton and his Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel. Just 0.214 seconds covered the top 4.

The Ferraris were 5th and 6th with Felipe Massa ahead of Fernando Alonso who had an engine failure four minutes from the end.

Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg's Mercedes took seventh and 10th, sandwiching the Force Indias of Nico Hulkenberg and Paul di Resta.
