Daniel Ricciardo has finished fastest in the final practice session ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix.

The Red Bull recorded a lap time of 1:53.958 to end the session at the top of the leaderboard above Felipe Massa and Romain Grosjean, who completed the top three in his Lotus.

Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg decided against completing a lap in wet weather as the leaders of the constructors' championship made preparations for qualifying, while Ferrari's Fernando Alonso also failed to set a time.

World champion Sebastian Vettel battled problems with his car throughout the session, meaning that he could only set the 11th fastest time.
