CAR 1, SEBASTIAN VETTEL
First Practice Session: Position: 1, Best Time: 1:26.683, Laps: 24
Second Practice Session: Position: 1, Best Time: 1:25.722, Laps: 35
“The soft tyre is not lasting so long here, but it’s Friday and the track is still rubbering in; it’s normally improving for Saturday, plus we haven’t used this compound for a long time, so tomorrow it should be better.”

CAR 2, MARK WEBBER
First Practice Session: Position: 2, Best Time: 1:26.871, Laps: 17
Second Practice Session: Position: 2, Best Time: 1:26.011, Laps: 38
“The track was pretty good at the start of today’s sessions, better than last year I would say. However, the conditions in P2 are normally different to what we have in the race, so it’s hard to say how we will go tomorrow and Sunday, but hopefully we have the pace and can control the race. The car is very consistent, but we need to work on the tyres and make sure we get the most out of them.”
