While Formula 1’s existential crisis gripped the paddock, Sebastian Vettel led Mark Webber in a Red Bull Racing 1-2 in a thoroughly overshadowed first Friday practice session at Silverstone.
Vettel pipped his team-mate in the dying seconds of the 90-minute session as Red Bull showed it will pose a major challenge to Brawn’s supremacy on the high-speed Northamptonshire circuit.
Home hero Jenson Button was third quickest for Brawn ahead of team-mate Rubens Barrichello, giving a symmetrical look to the top of the timesheet.
Fernando Alonso was fifth fastest for Renault ahead of Ferrari’s Felipe Massa, Toyota’s Jarno Trulli and 2008 winner Lewis Hamilton.
