Silverstone, Britain - Spain's Pedro de la Rosa was fastest in Friday's free practice for the British grand prix.

The McLaren-Mercedes driver outclassed the opposition in both the morning and afternoon sessions.

Second fastest was Ricardo Zonta of Brazil in a Toyota.

Britain's Jenson Button in a BAR-Honda was third in the second session, an improvement from 11th place in the morning.

Starting positions for Sunday's race will be decided in the qualifying session on Saturday.

Flags were flying at half-mast along the 5.14-kilometre circuit as a mark of respect for those killed in Thursday's terrorist bombings in London.
