Red Bull's Max Verstappen clocked the quickest time in the opening session of the Chinese Grand Prix here on Friday.
The Dutch racer clocked a lap time of 1:50.491 at the practice session that was marred by poor visibility owing to rain and fog, reports Efe.

Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari), Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) and Raikkonen (Ferrari) failed to set a lap time in the session that was finally suspended owing to poor weather.
