Lotus’s Romain Grosjean carried his brilliant recent run of form into Abu Dhabi as he topped the first practice session at the Yas Marina Circuit on Friday afternoon.

The Frenchman clocked a 1m 44.241s lap late in the session to bump Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton into second and Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel into third. The top three drivers were followed by their teammates in reverse order Mark Webber being fourth Nico Rosberg fifth and Kimi Raikkonen sixth.

Both Ferraris were outside of top ten at more than 1 second of the pace and if they will continue to show this pace during the qualifying session tomorrow and race on Sunday they look set to lose the third place in the championship to Lotus as well.
