Indian GP - Not much grip for circuit debut
Noida, 28 October – McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton topped the first ever F1 time sheet at the Buddh International circuit with a lap in 1.26.836. The first practice session prior to Sunday’s Indian Grand Prix, the seventeenth round of the World Championship, was particularly hectic as teams and drivers got to try the track for the first time, finding it as expected to be rather dirty. Second and third quickest was the Red Bull duo of Sebastian Vettel (1.27.416) and Mark Webber (1.27.428.) The best placed Ferrari driver was Felipe Massa, seventh in 1.28.644. Fernando Alonso was last on the time sheet, as he had to park his 150º Italia at the side of the track after completing just four laps, because of an engine problem. As usual on Friday morning, the team was not working on performance, but concentrated on testing various aerodynamic configurations, with each driver using just one set of Soft tyres.
The second session starts at 14h00.
