GREATER NOIDA, India -- Sebastian Vettel drove 35 flawless laps in the second practice session Friday to edge Red Bull teammate Mark Webber for the quickest time ahead of Sundays Indian Grand Prix. Just... Tuck Jersey . Vettel recorded 1 minute, 25.722 seconds on soft tires for his best lap on the Buddh International Circuit, .289 faster than Webber and almost a second quicker than his time of 1:26.683 in the first session. Vettel, who has won both previous Indian GP races from pole, can win his fourth straight world title by placing fifth or better on Sunday. In-form Lotus driver Romain Grosjean was third fastest with a time of 1:26.220, ahead of Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton in 1:26.399. "Im hopeful of another solid day tomorrow which should give us another strong qualifying position if the evidence of today is anything to go by," Grosjean said. "Well do everything we can to take the fight to Red Bull." Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso overcame gearbox problems in the morning session to finish the day fifth fastest, ahead of Nico Rosbergs Mercedes and teammate Felipe Massa. The second session was marred by handling problems as most drivers came to terms with the smooth, warming track and the softer compound Pirelli tires. Kimi Raikkonen, who finished 17th in the morning session, appeared to be fighting a losing battle for control of his Lotus and had difficulties taking the tighter turns. He improved to eighth fastest, but looked far from comfortable ahead of Fridays qualifying. Pastor Maldonado had wheel problems again. The Williams driver who lost a wheel in practice for this months Japanese GP was forced to park at the entrance to pit lane Friday when he lost a wheel nut and eventually punctured his front right tire after 23 laps of the second session. Weather at the track was hot and dry, with similar conditions forecast for Sunday. "Its hard to say how we will go tomorrow and Sunday, but hopefully we have the pace and can control the race," Webber said. "The car is very consistent, but we need to work on the tires and make sure we get the most out of them." Tire supplier Pirelli has dropped the more durable hard compound tires for the Indian surface, instead opting for soft and medium options. While the soft tires proved to be considerably faster, drivers complained of a lack of durability. "The soft tire is not lasting so long here, but its Friday and the track is still rubbering in," Vettel said. "Its normally improving for Saturday, plus we havent used this compound for a long time, so tomorrow it should be better." Alonso had a frustrating start to the first practice, completing only six laps before being forced into the pits with a gearbox issue and ending the morning with the 12th-fastest time. Ferrari repaired the problem in time for the second session, without the need to replace the gearbox. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cyber Monday .4 long-track speedskating competition.

Gay finished in a time of 9.75 seconds, the fastest in the world this season. Gatlin, wearing strapping on his right hamstring, was second. Charles Silmon took third as he held off Michael Rodgers by two-thousandths of a second for the last spot on the team headed to Moscow for the world championships in August. "That," Gay said, his grin growing wider, "went good." Even better, he was walking around without a grimace of pain after each step following the race, something that hasnt been the case in recent years.

"Tyson can be great if hes healthy," former Olympic champion Maurice Greene said. In the womens 100, English Gardner, who just recently turned pro, captured the title despite an ankle injury.

Hodgson Black Friday Jersey[/url]. quot; Gay entered the race with the fastest time in the world this year but Gatlin had the more impressive win, recently beating Usain Bolt. Gatlin led early, only to be caught by Gay. "He didnt show anything different than what Ive seen of Tyson before," said the 31-year-old Gatlin, who tweaked his hamstring at a recent meet but hid the injury until Friday. "A healthy Justin and a prime Justin will be able to (race) all the way to the line." Other winners on Friday were A.G. Kruger (hammer throw), Brad Walker (pole vault), Lance Brooks (discus) and Sharon Day (heptathlon). Day notched a personal-best score of 6,550 points. For Ashton Eaton, the first day of the decathlon was only about playing it safe and not chasing after his own world record. Eaton is in second place behind Gunnar Nixon after five events. "My (big performances) come now at the big show, not so much USAs anymore," said Eaton, whos dealing with a tendinitis in his left leg.
