Rosberg close as Hamilton tops final practice

F1 Grand Prix, GP Brazil, Autódromo José Carlos Pace, Interlagos

Lewis Hamilton returned to the front in final practice at Brazil, even though the gap with team mate Nico Rosberg proved small, with just 0.123s seperating the two dominant Mercedes drivers.

Behind them, Sebastian Vettel was the only man to stay within 1 second from the pace setter, even though the latter came to a halt due to a gearbox issue halfway through the session, only to get his car going again a few moments later.

Yet again, Ferrari are chased by a pack of Mercedes powered cars, led by Valtteri Bottas in the Williams. Nico Hulkenberg was 6th fastest in the Force India, followed by Romain Grosjean, Sergio Perez and Pastor Maldonado.

Max Verstappen became today's fastest Renault runner, ahead of Daniel Ricciardo who appears to have dropped down the pecking order compared to Friday.
