Red Bull feels there's still much room to improve
As with most of the other Formula One teams, Red Bull also brought many updates to improve their 2009 car with, thus adding much more work to be done during Friday practices. And along with the usual running, Sebastien Vettel even talked to Spanish taxi drivers when his radio started malfunctioning.
Mark Webber: “Another cliff hanging Friday eh? Ha ha. Obviously everyone knows this track very well, so it’s always going to be pretty tight around here, but we had a pretty good P2. P1 wasn’t that great, but P2 was better for us and I got a better feeling for the car. We had a little problem on the last run in P2, but we know what that was about. The guys did a good job today and we’ve got a solid amount of data to go through tonight, so I think we’re in pretty good shape."

Sebastian Vettel: "“A pretty normal Friday except that at some stage we had a problem with the radio and I think I had some Spanish taxi drivers to talking to me! Other than that it was normal Friday business. We did a lot of laps and tested some new parts, which I think we got an answer on, but to be sure for tomorrow and Sunday we will compare the data in comparison to our competitors. I’m confident there are areas where I can improve and where we can improve the car, so we have to work hard and come back stronger tomorrow.”
