ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Four times world champion Lewis Hamilton kept Mercedes on top in the last Friday practice of the Formula One season with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel close behind. "It's been a good Friday, but I'm happy that it's the last one of the season," said Hamilton. Both Hamilton and Vettel, a quadruple world champion with Red Bull, are three-time winners in Abu Dhabi although Ferrari have yet to triumph there. British youngster George Russell, taking part in first practice only, was 11th fastest in Esteban Ocon's Force India and less than a second off the pace of the team's Mexican driver Sergio Perez. Russell also took part in first practice in Brazil, and looks set for a reserve role in future.
