Vettel sets pace in Valencia

Sebastian Vettel heads into the weekend on the front foot in his bid for a third successive European Grand Prix victory.

Reigning double world champion Vettel led the way after yesterday’s two 90-minute practice sessions around the Valencia Street Circuit where the top 15 cars were separated by under a second.

Red Bull star Vettel posted a best time of one minute 39.334secs ahead of five drivers all yet to win a race this season.
