First practice was dominated by the Red Bull’s with Sebastian Vettel topping the times ahead of his team-mate by just four hundredths.

Robert Kubica and Adrian Sutil sat between the next championship contender, Lewis Hamilton, in fifth. The Brit set an early time but his luck ran out after he ran wide at the Degner curve despite changes to the kerbing to reduce accidents.

His McLaren hit the barriers heavily and ended his first practice session after just 40 minutes.

Jenson Button had a similar scare at the same corner but avoided hitting the barriers, finally finishing 12th.
