Crash for Webber
During the first free practice session of the Singapore Grand Prix, Mark Webber was third fastest while team mate Sebastian Vettel placed his car in fifth position. During the afternoon session, Vettel was the fastest man on track while Webber finished sixth.
Car 15 Sebastian Vettel:
“We can see from the times that the track is a little bit slower here than it was last year, which is a shame because some of the faster corners are now not so quick, but overall the character has remained the same. It’s a challenging track – quite stop and go – you don’t experience as much G-force here as on other circuits, but there are a lot of bumps, which don’t make your life easy, but I like the circuit a lot. Overall, it was a good day for us and we look better here than we did in Monza.”
First Practice Session
Position: 5, Best Time: 1:50.614, Laps: 16, Chassis No. 1
Second Practice Session
Position: 1, Best Time 1:48.650, Laps: 31, Chassis No. 1
Car 14 Mark Webber:
“I was pushing a little bit too hard in the second practice, it was a bit slippery off line and I went off in the last corner and into the pit wall, which ended my session. The car was going well up until then; I was quick and both Sebastian and I had pretty good practice sessions. I would have liked to have done a bit more mileage, but in the end we still learned quite a bit and we’ll be back tomorrow. I think it should be a good race for us, it will be interesting as the tyres are not massively easy to handle here, so we’ll have to work on that tonight. But, overall, not too bad.”
First Practice Session
Position: 3, Best Time: 1:50.416, Laps: 21, Chassis No. 2
Second Practice Session
Position: 6, Best Time: 1:49.317, Laps: 14, Chassis No. 2
