Formula One frontrunner Sebastian Vettel led a Ferrari one-two in Russian Grand Prix practice on Friday with the resurgent Italian team appearing to have a clear edge over champions Mercedes. Valtteri Bottas, a close second in opening practice, was third in the afternoon for Mercedes and 0.670 off Vettel's pace, while team mate Hamilton was fourth. Vettel leads Hamilton by seven points after winning two of three races this season. Triple champion Hamilton won in 2014 and 2015 with now-retired team mate Nico Rosberg triumphant last year on his way to the title. "The Ferrari seemed very, very fast on the long runs, so we need to work out how we can improve our pace."
