Vettel tops wet final practice

F1 Grand Prix, GP China, Shanghai International Ciruit

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel topped the final practice session at China. The session was hit by rain and made for tricky conditions, resulting in very few laps being run as drivers and teams were cautious not do damage any parts ahead of qualifying.

It was generally a very quiet session, with Valtteri Bottas the first to venture out on track 15 minutes into the 60 minute session. He eventually ended up second fastest. Teams waited for conditions to improve after heavy rainfall prevented useful running early in the session.

It was therefore at the end of the session that the best times were set, amindst numerous difficult moments for various drivers. Romain Grosjean however was the only spinner, albeit he escaped without any damage on his car.
