Meanwhile, Felipe Massa finished fifth fastest in his Williams ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who was the quickest driver in the opening practice session which was badly disrupted by poor visibility. Earlier, Formula 1 was forced to call off the second practice because poor visibility prevented the medical helicopter operating.
