US GP - FREE PRACTICE #1 - RE-CAP & TIMES
Lewis Hamilton topped the first free practice session of the weekend in the wet conditions at COTA.
Hamilton's quickest lap was a 1:47.502. He has the possibility of claiming the Championship title on Sunday, although things could go Vettel's way this time around.
Bottas was close behind with a 1:48.806, while the Red Bull duo of Verstappen and Ricciardo were 3rd and 4th respectively.
Sebastian Vettel came 5th with a 1:49.489.
Lando Norris filled in for Stoffel Vandoorne and finished the session in 12th with a 1:51.232.
Sean Gelael was also in the session, driving in place of Hartley at Toro Rosso. Gelael was last on the charts with a 1:52.625
Nicholas Latifi was supposed to run for Force India but the team opted to run Ocon instead and decided to give Latifi the wheel in Abu Dhabi.
Red Flags came out after Charles Leclerc lost his Sauber in the grass and then drove through the gravel to rejoin the track. Bits of the gravel ended up spread out on the circuit, causing the session to be stopped.
Sebastian Vettel ended up with a 3-Place-Grid-Penalty for not slowing sufficiently under the red flag conditions.
