2013 GERMAN GP: FRIDAY RESULTS

Lewis Hamilton edged out team-mate Nico Rosberg as Mercedes took command of the first German Grand Prix practice session. The Briton finished more than one second clear of the entire field bar Rosberg, with whom he traded fastest laps as the Brackley-based squad hit the front at the halfway stage. Hamilton eventually settled the fight with a 1m31.754s which put him two tenths clear of Rosberg, victorious last time out at Silverstone.

Red Bull's Mark Webber prevailed in what was a much tighter fight for third, eclipsing the lead Force India of Adrian Sutil by just 0.033s. Kimi Raikkonen, Felipe Massa and Jenson Button all got within four tenths of Webber's time. Despite Massa's pace it was an unhappy session for Ferrari however, as Fernando Alonso failed to complete a lap due to electrical issues.

Sebastian Vettel moved Red Bull to the top of the timesheets in second practice for the German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring. The German seized control of the session on his first soft-tyre run, working his way down to a 1m30.416s that would stand for the remainder of the session. Team-mate Mark Webber, on pole here in 2009 and '11, had been fastest in the early medium-compound running and again when the field first switched to softs. He was bumped down however, first by Vettel and then by the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg, who got to within a quarter of a second of Vettel's time.
