In the final first practice session of the 2013 F1 season we saw a special helmet for Felipe Massa who is leaving Ferrari after 8 seasons. We also saw Mark Webber starting his last final practice of his F1 career.
All cars started on full wet Pirelli F1 tyres, but switched after a couple of laps to the quicker intermediate tyres. The whole session was wet and Red Bull was testing the prototype Pirelli F1 tyres for next season.
A lot of drivers go wide in corners because of the wet circumstances and did some off-road driving. Even Sebastian Vettel left the track once.
Daniil Kvyat was driving Daniel Ricciardo's Toro Rosso STR8 car and James Calado drove in Paul di Resta's Force India VJM06. Daniil Kvyat did a great job by driving the 8th fastest lap time.
The fastest drivers where the Mercedes drivers Hamilton and Rosberg. They had set fastest lap times half way the session and only drove 13 laps.
