AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Formula One title favourite Lewis Hamilton was fastest in final practice at the U.S. Grand Prix on Saturday with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel closing the gap after putting the previous day's problems behind him.

Hamilton, who can secure a fourth world championship on Sunday if results go his way, dominated Friday's sessions and completed the sweep with a fastest lap of one minute 34.478 seconds at a cloudy Circuit of the Americas.
