However, Sebastian Vettel topped the times on Thursday with a time of 1:16.841s after completing 142 laps.

Prêt d’un an après la mort d’Amy Winehouse, ses parents obtiennent enfin le droit de toucher au très large héritage laissé par leur fille. Des millions d’euros auxquels ne pourront pas toucher Blake Fielder-Civil et Reg Traviss. Torturée, dépressive, alcoolique mais millionnaire.
