Vettel and Webber looking forward to challenging qualifying
The Red Bull duo of Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber have not dominated this Thursdays free practices but they have been in the top ten and simply awaiting for Saturday afternoon to attempt their usual top spot domination. Vettel and Webber amassed a sufficient amount of laps and felt comfortable with their RB6 especially with the low speed balance.
Sebastian Vettel, Car 5:
1st Practice P2, 2nd Practice P3
“We did a lot of laps today, which is good as that’s important in Monaco. The car feels alright, but if you look at the times it’s difficult to judge where we are. One thing that’s clear it will be very, very tight over the weekend. The top four teams are split by a couple of tenths and fuel loads are not as important here, so it’s close. It looks challenging. Qualifying has been good for us at the last races and I hope it continues on Saturday.”
Mark Webber, Car 6:
1st Pratice P4, 2nd Practice P10
“It was a pretty good day today – we went a bit early with the options to beat the weather and we’ve got a bit of work to do with the balance, but in general it was good. We’ve made progress in the low-speed stuff since last year. We saw indications of it in Singapore and Abu Dhabi and what we learned with the RB5 has rolled into the RB6. It will be tighter here than it was in Spain, it’s a special track – we know that. Saturday will be an exciting qualifying session for definite.”
