McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has put in the quickest time of the morning during the first free practice session at the Bahrain GP. The Brit was followed by Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel and Force India's Paul di Resta. The morning was rather conventional, aside from the warm weather and the sandy track which has yet to be properly rubbered in.
