Electrical problem for Webber on Italian Friday
It has been a mixed day for the Red Bull Racing F1 Team at Monza today due to an electrical problem during the second free practice session. First practice: Mark Webber 1:24.759 (9th) 19 laps, Sebastian Vettel 1:25.951 (18th) 19 laps. Second practice: Mark 1:24.979 (14th) 25 laps, Sebastian 1:25.386 (18th) 27 laps.
Car 14 Mark Webber:
“A mixed day. We had an electrical problem in P2, which probably cost us about a run and a half, so it was a good recovery from the guys to get the car turned back around. Mileage is important here, as it’s the first time we’ve driven in Monza this year – normally we test here beforehand. It’s always a unique track to drive – with high top speeds and the car moving around – so I enjoyed driving today. We’ve got a bit of pace to find, but I’m sure we’ll be in the running tomorrow.”

Position: 14, Best Time: 1:24.979, Laps: 25, Chassis No. 2
Car 15 Sebastian Vettel:
“It’s quite a surprise today to look at the lap times and see who is on top and who’s in the midfield. Nothing is wrong for us and everything went to plan - we knew we faced a difficult Friday with limited mileage due to the small number of engines I have left until the end of the season. We used the laps we had available today and it seemed to go okay. We still have to improve, so we’ll now look to see who was fast and who was playing with fuel loads. At this stage it seems impossible to predict who will be on top.”
