Sebastian Vettel went off the track early in the session, damaging the front wing of his Red Bull.  The car then developed gearbox issues, leaving the German on just 15 laps for most of the day, and in the very unusual position of last on the timesheets.

By the time it was fixed, only nine minutes of the session remained, and a sprinkling of rain prevented Vettel improving his time.  More importantly, it also left the new upgrades on the Red Bull relatively untested.

Elsewhere, Lotus have topped the timing screens with surprising regularity—Grosjean on the ...
