Ferrari driver Felipe Massa clocked a best time of one minute 25.706 seconds, to remain the fastest for Formula One's oldest team at the sport's newest circuit in practice for the inaugural Indian Grand Prix at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida on Friday. Mclaren's Hamilton set a best lap of 1:26.836 right at the end of the morning session to deny Vettel and Red Bull's Australian Mark Webber an immediate one-two on the timesheets but fell foul of the stewards who imposed his sixth penalty of the season. They ruled the 2008 champion and Sauber's Mexican Sergio Perez had both ignored waved double yellow flags warning that a car was being recovered by marshals working close to the track. AIR correspondent reports, the penalty meant Hamilton could no longer hope to start on pole position for a second successive race.If the morning was a tale of Indian pride and Briton Lewis Hamilton collecting a three place grid penalty for ignoring warning flags after setting the quickest lap, the afternoon ended a red letter day with a red car on top. Double world champion Sebastian Vettel was second in both sessions on a day of huge significance for Indian motorsport but with very little importance in a championship whose titles have already been won by the German and his Red Bull team. Fernando Alonso reinforced Ferrari's potential with the third fastest time in the second session after suffering a blown engine in the Morning. The first car out of the pitlane was the saffron, white and green Force India, driven by Germany's Adrian Sutil. It was followed closely by Team Lotus's Indian reserve Karun Chandhok, the second Force India of Paul di Resta and then Indian racer Narain Karthikeyan in the HRT. Chandhok, who will not race on Sunday, had the honour of setting the first timed lap. Karthikeyan, who became the only Indian ever to score points in Formula One when he was at Jordan in 2005, ended the day last on the timing screens but comforted that his presence was what really mattered. The afternoon session was a bit affected and got red-flagged when Belgian Jerome D'Ambrosio crashed his Virgin heavily.
