SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Red Bull's Sergio Perez lapped fastest in first free practice for the Sao Paulo Formula One Grand Prix at Interlagos on Friday with the top three drivers separated by just 0.008 of a second.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was second on the timing screens, 0.004 slower than the Mexican's best time of one minute and 11.853 seconds but the Monegasque's lap was set later in the session when cars had more grip.
