Sebastian Vettel:
FP1: 5th, Best Time: 1:40.088, Laps: 21
FP2: 1st, Best Time: 1:38.832, Laps: 33
“All in all we can be quite happy, but I think it looks extremely tight. I’m not happy with every run we had today, but I think the track was changing quite a lot this morning, it was better than we expected. This afternoon it was quite slippery to start with, but then I think it got a little bit better so, all in all the car felt alright and now we see what we can do for tomorrow. I think we have to improve ourselves to match the others.”
Mark Webber:
FP1: 3rd, Best Time: 1:39.575, Laps: 21
FP2: 2nd, Best Time: 1:38.864, Laps: 33
“We had a pretty good program for today and I think both of us managed to get the most out of it. We’ll have a look where we can improve tonight in different areas; it’s always a compromise on a track like this with a bit of top speed in the first sector, then the last sector is pretty twisty in terms of rhythm – it’s a bit like Budapest, so you need a bit of downforce there. So far so good, we have good information and the guys will now get on with the job tonight.”
