SAO PAULO -- Less than a tenth of a second separated the top four drivers in final practice for the Brazilian Grand Prix, with Valtteri Bottas just edging his teammate Lewis Hamilton and the two Ferrari drivers to the fastest time.
Although Interlagos is a short track, the gap of just 0.058s between Bottas in first place and Sebastian Vettel in fourth was remarkably slim in the final practice session ahead of qualifying. While Mercedes still hasn't improved on Lewis Hamilton's fastest time from the opening practice session on Friday morning, Ferrari's drivers made big gains to knock over half a second off their fastest times on Friday.
