United States GP - Fits and starts

Austin, 15 November

The first free practice session for the United States Grand Prix, the penultimate round of the championship was first delayed and then featured another pause, adding to a total delay of 30 minutes delay, because of fog. The rules state cars cannot run if the Medical Helicopter cannot fly and that was the case this morning at the Circuit of the Americas. Quickest in the shortened session was Fernando Alonso in the Ferrari, who completed 16 laps, the best in 1.38.343, ahead of Jenson Button in the McLaren (1.38.371) and Valtteri Bottas in the Williams (1.38.388.) In the other F138, Felipe Massa was seventh in 1.39.005, running two sets of the Hard tyre, as did his team-mate. The two men ran different aero set-ups, as they worked on finding the best set-up for the Texan race on a weekend where, as predicted by the local forecast, temperatures are set to rise over the course of the next couple of days.
