Free Practice 1 was another good session for Mercdes. Both Hamilton and Rosberg took the top spots. Hamilton recovering from a crazy week which included both an illness and a traffic accident. All was OK though and he was able to out-perform his team-mate.
Jolyon Palmer was in this session in place of Romain Grosjean and to those who have not yet heard, he will be taking Grosjean's place at Lotus, starting in 2016. Pastor Maldonado will stay on the team and partner Palmer.
Alexander Rossi also continues to race for Marussia during the Brazilian GP weekend, but Roberto Merhi will take over for the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi.
