Kubica quickest in wet practice for Japanese Grand Prix

Presented by Epson

OMAYA, Japan -- Robert Kubica of BMW set the fastest time in a wet practice session Saturday ahead of qualifying for Sunday's Japanese Formula One Grand Prix.

 

The Polish driver set a best time of 1 minute 25.087 seconds on a track made wet by morning rain at Fuji Speedway.

Toyota's Timo Glock was again prominent, setting a time that was just 0.085 seconds behind Kubica. Glock, who topped the time sheets in dry conditions Friday, indicated Toyota could be a threat to the top teams on the track its parent company owns.

The leading times of the session were all set in the closing moments when the track was at its driest in improving conditions.

Prior to the last burst of laps, Ferrari's Felipe Massa was top of the timesheets, but was quickly relegated to seventh.

Massa trails McLaren's Lewis Hamilton by seven points in the drivers' championship with three races remaining.

Hamilton was 11th quickest in morning practice.

Renault's Nelson Piquet Jr. was third fastest and BMW's Nick Heidfeld fourth best.
