Friday: Red Bull and Vettel start the weekend well
Red Bull starts its weekend well. Both drivers placed in the top 5 during both sessions, and Vettel was the fastest in FP2. The German driver could be crowned as early as Sunday afternoon. Webber, on the other hand, needs to improve a bit more to hope to beat his teammate.
Sebastian Vettel – 2nd and 1st:
« It’s a very demanding circuit, it’s hot in the suit and you have to stay focused, it’s one of the toughest circuits of the season. I like it, but I’m sure nobody gets out of the car in better shape than when they got in. We worked on the car set-up, but the baseline wasn’t bad. We still need to make some progress tonight. It seemed tight today, we have to wait and see what happens. »
Mark Webber – 3rd and 5th:
It wasn’t too bad. I need to find a bit more rhythm, but we should improve again tonight, which will be good for us. Seb was good, so I need to go faster tomorrow. In FP1 I had an accident. I thought Glock was going to let me pass, but he didn’t know I was there, so we touched in the corner.
