MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Lewis Hamilton just edged Sebastian Vettel to the fastest time in first practice at the Mexican Grand Prix, while title rival Nico Rosberg finished the session 0.759s off the pace in seventh.Hamilton set his fastest time on the medium compound midway through the session amid a series of mid-length runs on the white-striped tyres. Rosberg also set his best time on the medium compound, but it appeared as though neither Mercedes was focusing on quick times. They both racked up over 30 laps during the 90 minute session, including a seven lap run on the softs early on followed by a series mid-length runs on the mediums.The Ferraris in second and third both set their times on the soft tyres towards the end of the session and were split by just 0.079s, which was identical to the gap Vettel had to Hamiltons best time on the mediums. Local hero Sergio Perez used the super-soft tyres exclusively during the session and set the fourth fastest time ahead of Force India teammate Nico Hulkenberg, who was on a similar run plan.Valtteri Bottas was just 0.038s off Hulkenberg despite using the slower soft compound tyre as Force India and Williams prepare to continue their battle over fourth place in the championship this weekend.

The right side of the wing smashed into pieces as it loaded up on the following straight and the debris went under his car.
