Vettel sets Jerez pace on first day

A four day long test, the last before the summer F1 testing ban, got underway this morning at Jerez de la Frontera. While the Hockenheim weekend had been cooler than expected, Spain in July lived up to its hot reputation with a track temperature high of 51 degrees Celsius recorded during the afternoon. Sebastian Vettel set his best time, the fastest time of the day, in the cooler morning.
