Kimi Raikkonen has left Lewis Hamilton behind

3 months ago 22nd Aug 16:22

Kimi Raikkonen beat Renault's Fernando Alonso by 0.020 seconds.

Jenson Button's Honda was third.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa was fourth, with Lewis Hamilton next up.

Hamilton, leading the world championship going into this race on a new street circuit, set the pace for much of the first session only to spin on what was looking set to be his fastest lap.

Vettel was a surprise name at the top of the times after the morning session.

The German had just beaten Hamilton's mark when the Englishman spun, and the Toro Rosso driver went faster again to set a one minute 40.496 seconds best.

Raikkonen, who has said he wants to work on improving his qualifying pace after struggling in recent races, left the fastest time at 1:39.477, with Massa 0.201secs behind him, and just 0.034secs ahead of Hamilton.
