Driver Views from the two Friday free practice sessions for the Hungarian Grand prix.

Car 14 MARK WEBBER:

“We’ve had a good day so far. It’s normal for Budapest to be pretty warm, so we’ve experienced the normal characteristics and the problems that Budapest throws at the engineers and drivers. The car seems to be going OK at the moment – we’ll see what fuel loads people are running as usual tomorrow and on Sunday. We’ve got a bit of work to do with our car but, in general, it’s been a reasonably positive day, with the exception of stopping towards the end of the second session with a hydraulic problem.”


First Practice Session
Position: 4, Best Time: 1:22.615, Laps: 21, Chassis No. 2
Second Practice Session   
Position: 4, Best Time 1:22.369, Laps: 29, Chassis No. 2


Car 15 SEBASTIAN VETTEL:

“A hot, hot Friday, obviously the sun is out in Hungary, which makes it hot in the car, but it’s OK. Overall I think we are still struggling to find the balance – I’m not yet 100% happy, so we need to look into it carefully overnight to see where we are. Hopefully we can make a step forward tomorrow and then it will be all about qualifying as usual. I think it’s much closer here than at previous races, other teams are very competitive, so we will see!”


First Practice Session
Position: 15, Best Time: 1:23.283, Laps: 25, Chassis No. 4
Second Practice Session   
Position: 6, Best Time: 1:22.550, Laps: 30, Chassis No. 4

James Allen said in his blog that the feeling in the paddock was that the two tenths between the boys was genuine and nothing to do with differing programs....but that was yesterday.
