Formula 1: Vettel, Leclerc keep Ferrari on top of practice timesheets

HOCKENHEIM, Germany: Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was fastest in practice at the German Grand Prix on Friday, trading places with team mate Sebastian Vettel at the top of the timesheets.

The Briton, who leads team mate Valtteri Bottas by 39 points having won seven of 10 races so far, had set his fastest time of the morning on medium tyres compared to the more grippy softs used by the Ferrari drivers. Max Verstappen, fourth in the morning, ended the day fifth-fastest ahead of Haas's Romain Grosjean, whose car had the same specification used for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.Nico Hulkenberg, who had to stop his Renault with what appeared to be an engine problem but later rejoined, was ninth in the second session. Mexican Sergio Perez rounded out the top 10 for Racing Point.

Hamilton had warned on Thursday that Mercedes, whose only defeat this season came at a sweltering Austrian Grand Prix last month, could struggle in the heat.
