SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Daniel Ricciardo put Red Bull on top of the timesheets for the first time this season with the fastest time in final practice for the Chinese Grand Prix in a damp session that limited running with neither Mercedes drivers completing a timed lap.

Ricciardo's one minute 53.958 on intermediate tyres at the Shanghai International Circuit was half a second quicker than Felipe Massa's Williams with Lotus's Romain Grosjean third.
