SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Mercedes Nico Rosberg was fastest in the second practice
for Formula Ones season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix on Friday, edging Sebastian
Vettel and his Red Bull teammate Mark Webber on a wet Interlagos track.

has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a
chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record
of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. Rosberg
timed one minute 27.306 seconds in the afternoon session at the 4.3-kilometre
track in Sao Paulo, .225 ahead of Vettel and .286 in front of Webber, who is
competing in his last F1 race at the Brazilian GP. The Australian driver, who
will join Porsches endurance program, has won two of the last four races at
Interlagos. Rosberg had been fastest in the first practice session with a lap of
1:24.781, when track conditions were better. "I had a good start into the
weekend, I was very quick in the rain," said Rosberg, who won twice this year
and is sixth in the drivers championship. "I have higher hopes now that perhaps
we can give Red Bull a hard time this weekend." Rosbergs Mercedes teammate Lewis
Hamilton was second and Vettel was third in the morning despite briefly running
off the track near the end of the session. Hamilton spun and recovered in both
sessions. It rained heavily in the afternoon and drivers couldnt switch to
intermediary tires until the final minutes. "We were working on understanding
the tires in both conditions today (Friday)," Webber said. "We had the full wet
and intermediate tires on the car and we did quite a few laps. It was a
productive day in preparation for tomorrow (Saturday), as we expect some more
wet conditions." More rain is expected for Saturdays qualifying run and maybe
for Sundays race. "We all know that the weather plays always a big role here at
Interlagos and can catch you out," Rosberg said. "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 the only driver to
test the prototype dry weather tires that will be used by teams in 2014. Vettel
ran a lap with them in the first session despite the damp track, but it was
enough to give engineers at least some information that might be useful for next
season. "We knew it would be wet today (Friday) and might be tricky. It was good
to get a bit of a base line in these conditions. We need to be sharp for the
next two days and make the right calls. The main loss from the rain was that we
didnt run on the 2014 tires." Teams and drivers know little about what to expect
next year because the series will go through a major change in engine rules,
switching from the current 2.4-litre V8 units to a 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged
engine, a move that will demand significant alterations in the design of cars.
The Brazilian GP marks the last race before several driver changes at some of
F1s top teams. World champion Kimi Raikkonen of Finland leaves Lotus for
Ferrari, where Felipe Massa lost his ride before joining Williams. The Brazilian
replaces Pastor Maldonado of Venezuela, who could be up for the Raikkonen seat
at Lotus. McLaren will replace Mexican Sergio Perez with rookie Kevin Magnussen
of Denmark, and Australian Daniel Ricciardo, from Red Bulls sister team Toro
Rosso, will replace Webber.

Madrid advanced to the Copa del Reys round of 16 after dispensing with
third-division opponents on Wednesday. Five-time cup winner Sevilla became the
nights only topflight team to be upset by a lower-division team when third-tier
Racing Santander won 2-0 in Seville to overturn a 1-0 first-leg loss. Madrid,
which had been held to a scoreless draw by Olimpic Xativa in the first leg,
scored twice in the first half to win 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Asier
Illarramendi put Madrid ahead in the 16th with his first goal since the
midfielder transferred from Real Sociedad last summer. Jese Rodriguez set up
Illarramendi to end Olimpics run of keeping a clean sheet in nine consecutive
matches. Angel Di Maria doubled the advantage in the 28th with a penalty that
goalkeeper Francisco Solar palmed off his post, only to see it trickle over the
line. Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas had an awkward fall late but finished the
game after team doctors examined his back on the pitch. "We tried to score more
goals but we couldnt manage it," said Madrids Pepe. "The important thing is that
the team played well." Madrid will face Osasuna in the next round in January.
Defending champion Atletico needed a last-gasp header by defender Tobias
Alderweireld to edge Sant Andreu 2-1, advancing 6-1 on aggregate. After Alberto
Carroza scored for Sant Andreu in the 15th, Adrian Loppez missed a penalty for
Atletico before he set up substitute Hector Hernandez to equalize in the 79th.

The Barcelona-based side still seemed set to celebrate a surprising draw at
Vicente Calderon Stadium until Alderweireld flicked in Gabi Fernandezs free kick
three minutes into stoppage time. Atletico will face the winner of the tie
between Valencia and Nastic Tarragona, who play on Thursday after 0-0 in the
first leg. Sociedad, Almeria, and Real Betis also finished off lower-division
opponents to advance. Sociedad routed Algeciras 4-0 with goals by Javier Ros,
Haris Seferovic, Antoine Griezmann and Carlos Vela, advancing 5-1 on aggregate.
Griezmann has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season. Almeria drew 0-0
with Las Palmas and went through from its 3-1 first-leg win. Betis let
third-tier Lleida Esportiu rally for a 2-2 draw, but held on to advance 4-3 on
aggregate. Sevilla was undone when Stephane MBia left it with 10 men in the 62nd
after receiving a red card for bringing down Racings Mariano Sanz with only the
goalkeeper to beat. David Miguelez converted the penalty kick in the 63rd minute
to level the tie. Racing forward Mahamadou Kone snatched the winner in the 90th,
heading in a rebound that goalkeeper Javi Varas had tipped onto his crossbar.
"We were facing a trap ... and we fell right into it," said Sevilla coach Unai
Emery. "Its a sad night."
