Mark Webber topped the final practice session for the Brazilian Grand Prix which just so happens to be his final ever F1 practice session.
The Australian put in some late laps to take charge of the leaderboard by three-tenths over Lotus’s Romain Grosjean who was a further four-tenths quicker than third placed Heikki Kovalainen.
Valtteri Bottas was fourth with Nico Hulkenberg, Jean-Eric Vergne and Esteban Gutierrez not far behind.
The rain dicated running, with a very wet track to start leading to almost no action at all, before a few cars braved the conditions.
One of those was Lewis Hamilton who completed nine laps, whilst many of his closest rivals opted not to set a timed lap at all.
Nico Rosberg, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa and Jenson Button all completed an installation lap before retreating to the pits whilst Sebastian Vettel set one timed lap to put him 17th.
