(Reuters) - Red Bull's Max Verstappen topped the practice timesheets for the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix on Friday, ahead of Renault's Daniel Ricciardo and championship leader Lewis Hamilton. "It's very close out there," said Hamilton, who completed a Mercedes one-two behind team mate and birthday boy Valtteri Bottas in the morning. "Car seems to handle well," Verstappen, who has a Belgian mother, said after the session. His team mate Sebastian Vettel, leaving Ferrari at the end of the year, was only 17th. The capricious weather at Spa-Francorchamps threatened rain but held off, allowing both practice sessions to run on a dry track.
