Webber tops rain-hit first practice

Mark Webber left it late to record the fastest lap of first practice, after rain interrupted proceedings midway through the session at the Sau Paulo circuit in Brazil.

The Red Bull driver set a sequence of fast laps towards the end of the session and managed a time over four tenths of a second faster than local hero, Rubens Barrichello.

Sebastian Vettel was not far behind in third, with Jenson Button a respectable seventh.

Meanwhile Lewis Hamilton returned to the scene of his 2008 title triumph with the fifth fastest time.
