Sebastian Vettel was just a bit quicker than Red Bull team mate Mark Webber in the final practice session in Abu Dhabi this afternoon, but again the times were extremely tight as Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were pushing strong.

But the picture changed back in Red Bull’s favour when the softs went on in the final 10 minutes of the session.

Vettel claimed the top spot again with 1m 41.349s from Hamilton on 1m 41.580s, until Webber squeezed between them right at the end with 1m 41.571s. Rosberg was fourth on 1m 41.721s, as Romain Grosjean kept Lotus in play with 1m 41.832s. Jenson Button also demonstrated the improvement McLaren have quietly been making, with sixth fastest time of 1m 41.956s.
