SPIELBERG, Austria -- Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time in final practice for the Austrian Grand Prix as title rival Lewis Hamilton encountered more problems with his Mercedes.
Vettel set the fastest times in all three sectors of the lap as he went on the attack with ten minutes of the session remaining with a series of quick laps on the ultra-soft compound tyres. On his fastest lap he came across Hamilton in the final sector, but managed to negotiate his way past the Mercedes to light up the timing screens and set the fastest lap, 0.269s quicker than his title rival.
