Rosberg leads way in final Brazil GP practice
Nico Rosberg led home title rival Lewis Hamilton in the final practice session before qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The championship leader was 0.093 seconds quicker than his team-mate on the weekend where he will win the world drivers' title if he wins the race on Sunday.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was third quickest, 0.219secs slower than Rosberg's time.
Practice took place on a dry track but with rain forecast it is likely that qualifying, which beings at 16.00GMT, will make for trickier conditions, something which has suited Hamilton in the past.
Vettel's team-mate, Kimi Raikkonen, came home in fourth position with the Red Bull pair of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo completing the top six.
Just 0.5secs separated first from sixth and such a narrow gap makes final qualifying and the race itself a mouthwatering prospect.
Wiliams' Valtteri Bottas placed seventh just ahead of Renault's Jolyon Palmer while the second Williams of Felipe Massa - racing for the final time at his home GP - and McLaren's Fernando Alonso finished ninth and tenth respectively.
Hamilton is aware that he pretty much needs to win on Sunday to keep
the title fight alive until the final race in Abu Dhabi but he will have to improve coming into Turns One and Nine - he lost time here in final practice - if he is to get that vital victory.
