Electrical problem for Webber

After a lot of media attention for the Red Bull Racing team yesterday after the announcement of their driver line-up for the 2009 season, the team came back in action today during the two Friday free practice sessions. Despite an electrical problem for Webber, it was a good first day to the weekend for the team.

Mark Webber, 1st Practice P14, 2nd Practice P5
"We didn't get all the running in that we expected to, as we had an electrical problem with the car this afternoon and were a little bit on the back foot. But, at least we did some testing here last week and we've got some good information to go through. The temperatures are unusually cool this year and that's something we have to get used to, normally the German Grand Prix is pretty hot, but nonetheless we'll be fighting as usual."

David Coulthard, 1st Practice 11, 2nd Practice P10
"A green track means it's more difficult regarding tyres, as the track's rubbering in, which has an effect on graining and things like that. But, it's the same for everyone. Other than that, it was a normal Friday practice for us."
