2011-11-26 03:16:00 |
| Lewis Hamilton's rehabilitation continued in Brazil on Friday afternoon as he topped the second free practice session, but it was a close-run thing as the top eight drivers - from McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes - were bracketed by just 0.480s.
Hamilton lapped his McLaren in 1m 13.392s, 0.167s ahead of Sebastian Vettel on 1m 13.559s and 0.195s up on the latter's Red Bull team mate Mark Webber, who recorded 1m 13.587s

Practice One - Webber fastest for Red Bull at Interlagos |
2011-11-25 22:53:00 |
| Seven-tenths of a second separated the top six drivers after Friday morning's first practice session at Interlagos. Mark Webber set the pace for Red Bull with 1m 13.811s, but he was only 0.014s ahead of Jenson Button, who posted 1m 13.825s, and 0.150s ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who lapped in 1m 13.961s in the second McLaren. Hamilton aborted a final effort to go quicker.
Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel just failed to break into the 1m 13s with 1m 14.025s, leaving the top four just 0.214s apart, while the Ferraris had a mixed day. On his 100th appearance for them, Felipe Massa was fifth on 1m 14.507s, with Fernando Alonso sixth on 1m 14.541s. The Spaniard took a long while to get going, then stopped near the end after slowing in Turn One with similar engine troubles to those he experienced in India.

Race - Hamilton victorious after early Vettel exit |
2011-11-14 00:21:00 |
| All weekend there were signs that Lewis Hamilton's mojo was coming back, and a dominant victory in Abu Dhabi was just what the McLaren driver needed. In celebration, he dedicated it to his mother Carmen, whose birthday it was.
He was helped immeasurably as Sebastian Vettel spun into retirement in the second corner as his right-rear tyre came off the rim of his Red Bull, but it wasn't an easy run to the flag as Ferrari's Fernando Alonso grabbed second place from McLaren's Jenson Button on the opening lap and thereafter kept him honest.

2011-11-12 23:20:00 |
| Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel took his 14th pole position of the season on the final lap of Q3, marking the first time all weekend that a McLaren hadn't been fastest and bringing the German level with Nigel Mansell's seasonal record.

Practice Two - Hamilton top as floodlight follows sunlight |
2011-11-11 23:57:00 |
| McLaren ruled the roost in Abu Dhabi on Friday afternoon, as Formula One racing went into the twilight zone around 1700 hours local time. And both Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel fell foul of a slippery Turn One and touched the outer wall in their efforts to keep up.
Vettel and Webber set the initial pace for Red Bull before the sun began to slip from the sky, running the soft Pirellis as the McLarens clocked fast times on the mediums. Then after Alonso had a spell out front for Ferrari, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton took control with 1m 39.586s and team mate Jenson Button trimmed down to 1m 39.785s, 0.199s slower. Alonso's best was 1m 39.971s before he slid off backwards into the wall.
