Vettel denies Alonso

Sebastian Vettel denied home hero Fernando Alonso a practice double ahead of this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Vettel, the reigning triple world champion and current title leader, took full advantage of the warm, dry conditions for FP2 to edge Alonso by just 0.017secs at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya.

Alonso spearheaded a one-two after the initial 90-minute session, to the delight of his Spanish fans, although conditions were far from ideal.
