The opening practice session of the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend saw Mark Webber set the pace in his Red Bull Renault, four-tenths clear of the field. The 90-minute session was somewhat compromised by a light rain shower but Webber was able to move to the head of the timesheets late in the session to record a best lap of 1:12.463s.

Buemi and Button battled for the top spot for the majority of Practice 2, while Fernando Alonso top the top honor away in the closing moments of the session. The entire field, sans Fisichella, was covered by seven tenths of a second which lends one to think that qualifying will be a very close affair.
