The two Ferrari drivers were split by Daniel Ricciardo&#8217;s Red Bull in 4th; with the trio covered by 4 tenths of a second. Both Vettel and Raikkonen suffered off-track excursions during the session, with Kimi&#8217;s off at turn 4 coming after seemingly locking the rear of his car under braking.<\/p>\n<p>The second Red Bull of Daniil Kvyat followed in 6th place ahead of Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen; with the 18 year old Toro Rosso driver also among the drivers who spun their cars during the session. Completing the top 10 was 2010 pole-sitter Nico Hulkenberg and the Lotus of Pastor Maldonado.<\/p>\n<p>The two Brazilian drivers finished the session in 14th and 17th, with Felipe Nasr besting Felipe Massa by just a tenth of a second. Massa seemed to be struggling with the setup of his Williams as he slid his way around the circuit, with one noticeable moment coming at the Senna S when he ran too far over the new high kerbs.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil practice 1 time-sheets:<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\" frame=\"RHS\" rules=\"COLS\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<colgroup>\n<col

taking the fastest time by just under half a second. Rosberg was hampered by brief gear shifting issues during the session, which was followed shortly after by an off-track moment at the final corner.<\/p>\n<p>Sebastian Vettel held his 3rd position behind the two Mercedes drivers, but he was now almost a second off of the fastest time. Kimi Raikkonen was 2 tenths down on his team-mate in 4th, with Daniel Ricciardo once again close behind in his Red Bull.<\/p>\n<p>Valtteri Bottas and Romain Grosjean took 6th and 7th in the session and were separated by just a few thousandths of a second; with Grosjean getting his car back having stepped aside for his 2016 replacement Jolyon Palmer once again in first practice.<\/p>\n<p>Nico Hulkenberg and Daniil Kvyat were 8th and 9th at the end of the session, with Felipe Massa improving upon his practice 1 position to finish 10th; 1.4 seconds off of Rosberg&#8217;s time. Once again the battle for the mid-field was extremely close, with Raikkonen in 4th and Carlos Sainz in 15th separated by just one second.<\/p>\n<p>The session saw the return of McLaren&#8217;s mechanical issues; presupposing that the gremlins ever left the team this season. Fernando Alonso caused a red flag after having to stop out on track after a fire coming from his exhaust. He was forced to abandon his car and return to the pits in the Mercedes Medical Car; which is probably not as close to getting a Mercedes seat as he would hope.<\/p>\n<p>Rain started to fall as the session ended, with the weather looking stormy as we head into Saturday&#8217;s running. Practice 3 and Qualifying tomorrow have the potential to be affected by rain and thunder, but the conditions should clear up for the penultimate race of the season on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil practice
