Venezuela GP Lazarus driver Fabrizio Crestani headed the times in a red-flag ridden GP2 Series free practice session at Silverstone on Friday.
Only a handful of flying laps were recorded in the soaking wet conditions, and spins caused no less than three red flags in 30 minutes. For the record, Crestani led the way on 2m23.035s, well over a second clear of Esteban Gutierrez (Lotus GP) who was an earlier spinner.
Local hero Max Chilton (Carlin) was third fastest, ahead of Lotus GP's James Calado. Times were pretty much wholly unrepresentative of the true competitive order, however, due to all the disruption.
