Sebastian Vettel clocks the quickest time in the second practice session at the Mexican Grand Prix ahead of the weekend's race.

The German driver put Ferrari into the Mexican Grand Prix mix with the fastest practice lap on Friday while Lewis Hamilton laid down a marker in his title battle with Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg.

Triple champion Hamilton, who is 26 points behind Rosberg with three races remaining, had set the pace on a chilly and overcast morning.

Vettel ousted the Briton from the top, by just 0.004 of a second, with a lap of 1min 19.79 seconds on super soft tyres that showed Ferrari are not about to let Sunday's race turn into another Mercedes duel.
