SAO PAULO cheap jordan 11 shoes , Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg posted the fastest time during practice for the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix on Friday.


The 28-year-old German was quickest in the morning session with a lap of 1 minute, 24.781 seconds before eclipsing his rivals again in wet conditions in the afternoon with 1:27.306.


Rosberg was quietly upbeat about Mercedes' chances of challenging the dominant Red Bull team led by world champion Sebastian Vettel and retiring Australian Mark Webber.


"Today I had a good start to the weekend, and I was very quick in the rain even though we don't really know about the fuel levels of the other teams," Rosberg said.


"Therefore we need to read the time sheets with some caution. But generally I have higher hopes now that perhaps we can give Red Bull a hard time this weekend.


"We all know that the weather always plays a big role here at Interlagos and can catch you out. We were not able to run that much but the track feels really great and it was great fun to be out there and find the limit in these difficult conditions."


Vettel was second in the afternoon session, 0.225 seconds adrift of Rosberg with Webber third cheap jordan 1 shoes , 0.286 seconds behind.


Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton was second in the morning session and Vettel third.
