Sutil tops red-flagged practice
Force India's Adrian Sutil topped a flag-interrupted final practice at the European Grand Prix as a Sebastian Vettel blow-out marred the session.
The German's Red Bull suffered engine failure while running in 15th, spilling a stream of oil on to the track that held up the session for 30 minutes.
That allowed only a final five minutes, during which Sutil produced a storming lap of 1:39.143 to top the charts.
Williams's Kazuki Nakajima and BMW's Robert Kubica were second and third.
However, with Jenson Button seventh in his Brawn GP, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton eighth and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen 14th, it is near impossible to decipher the cars' true race pace from the final running.
Indeed, Fernando Alonso, who topped second practice on Friday in his Renault, was down in 15th despite starting the session looking in good shape.
