Webber leads RBR duo in first practice of 2011
F1 Grand Prix, GP Australia, Albert Park
Mark Webber has topped the timesheets in the first free practice session of the 2011 season in Melbourne, Austalia. His teammate Sebastian Vettel wasn't too far away in second, while Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was almost a second away from Webber in third. Missing from the action were the two Hispania machines, which are still uncomplete and just might miss FP2 in a few hours.
