Friday: Red Bull needs to improve its RB9
While Sebastian Vettel anticipates a duel between Mercedes and Red Bull during qualifying, Mark Webber prefers to focus on the overtaking opportunities during the race and aims to adjust his settings for the first sector with its long straights and DRS activation.
Sebastian Vettel – 2nd and 2nd
« There is room for improvement. It’s going to be tight with the Mercedes; of course, we are not sure what others were doing with their fuel load today, but it seems tight before tomorrow’s qualifying. I like the track here, it’s a shame it’s so far from Seoul, which is a great city, but it’s nice to come here given that it’s calmer than other races, which means we can focus on our work. »
Mark Webber – 3rd and 4th
« We need to work on balance; it’s more about understanding the tires and making them work as best as possible. We need to work on the balance both in short and long stints, given that of course, I will be demoted after qualifying. We need a car that can be strong in the first sector in order to be able to overtake. »
