Championship leader Sebastian Vettel records the fastest time in the first practice of the Circuit of Americas ahead of this Sunday's US Grand Prix.

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel has shown his intent ahead of the United States Grand Prix on Sunday by clocking the fastest time in the first practice in Austin, Texas.

McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, who sped off the track to avoid clashing with Michael Schumacher on the exit of turn nine, looked poised to take the best time with 12 minutes left to go in the practice.

Despite his impressive session, Vettel, who initially seemed to be struggling with the handles of his car, managed to whip around the track and finish the circuit 1.4 seconds faster than the Brit.

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who is Vettel's biggest challenger for the title, clocked the third quickest time, which was 2.2 seconds behind the Red Bull driver, who currently leads by 10 points in the drivers' rankings with two races left to go in the season.
