Sao Paulo: Jenson Button lapped fastest in the final practice of Brazilian Grand Prix on Saturday with Red Bull's championship leader Sebastian Vettel close behind.
Vettel, who is 13 points clear of sole rival Fernando Alonso, was 0.057 slower than the Briton whose team mate Lewis Hamilton dominated both of Friday's sessions at Interlagos.
Meanwhile Sahara Force India completed its final Friday practice sessions of the year with Paul Di Resta and Nico Hulkenberg showing competitive times in the very hot conditions of Sao Paolo.
Speaking about the practice, Paul Di Resta said, “I think we can feel quite positive about today. It was all pretty straightforward and the data looks quite encouraging. The hot conditions were tricky for everyone and the car was moving around quite a bit, but we’ve ended the day with a pretty sorted car that is working well in the low and high speed parts of the lap. I’m certainly feeling more confident with the car compared to recent races and I think we are looking reasonably competitive here.”
Meanwhile Nico Hulkenberg said, “You certainly felt the heat today and the car was quite loose and difficult to drive at times. Apart from that it was business as usual – doing the long runs and getting the tyre data. We also had an extra set of the 2013 tyres available this morning so it was interesting to get a taste for them and do a direct comparison with this year’s tyres. It’s difficult to judge where we stand at the moment, but we have all the information we need, so it’s just a case of trying to understand things more tonight to be ready for tomorrow.”
