Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – Free Practice 1 & 2

Car 2 MARK WEBBER
1st Practice P2, 2nd Practice P5

“It looks easy to get it wrong on Turn 1, when you see guys of the calibre of Alonso and Vettel getting out of shape, then you give a bit of a margin and come back up to it. All in all, it was a pretty good afternoon and night for us and we got all the laps done that we needed to. I won’t predict anything, as we know on Sunday that things can change, but we’re going pretty well and I feel happy with the car.”

Car 1 SEBASTIAN VETTEL
1st Practice P4, 2nd Practice P6

“I had an incident in P2. It wasn’t too much, I lost the car on the entrance to Turn 1. I think I was too wide and too far on to the kerb, so I lost the rear and couldn’t catch the car anymore. I was lucky to get out again at the end of P2; there wasn’t much damage apart from the front wing. If you just touch the kerb there, then it’s fine, but I went too far on to it. Looking to the car, we are there or thereabouts – but it will be tight tomorrow I think.”
