Published by Christine
Sebastian Vettel turned on his Saturday pace today to top the final practice session ahead of qualifying. Alonso led for much of the morning, but Red Bull took to the top of the timesheets as the session drew to a close. Karun Chandhok struggled for grip and ended the morning with his Lotus car stuck in the gravel, whilst Kovalainen had hydraulics issues that delayed his running.
