Ferrari’s flyers serve warning to rivals

Sebastian Vettel has warned Mercedes that there is more to come from Ferrari after the Italian team beat their rivals to a practice one-two ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix.

Kimi Raikkonen posted the fastest time of the day at the Shanghai International Circuit with Vettel a tenth of a second shy of his team-mate.

Nico Rosberg, winner of both races this season and fastest in the opening session, was a quarter of a second slower than Raikkonen, while Lewis Hamilton, who will be demoted five places on the grid following a gearbox change, was 0.433 seconds adrift of the Finn.
