British Grand Prix – Free Practice 1 & 2

POSTED ON July 09th, 2010

Car 5 SEBASTIAN VETTEL       
1st Practice P1, 2nd Practice P3

“The sessions were okay today – in the afternoon I had a bit of a spin and flat-spotted a set of hard tyres. We also had a problem with the brake pedal, but nothing big. The pace of the car was good. The new section of the track is quite low speed, but it’s not as slow as we expected and doesn’t kill the rhythm. It adds something new and makes if more of a challenge. The track here is magnificent; it’s good fun, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”

Car 6 MARK WEBBER
1st Practice P4, 2nd Practice P1

“A pretty good day apart from the electrical problem at the end, which was a shame – we lost a few laps. The car seems to be going pretty well here otherwise – I think a few of the other teams were sandbagging a bit, but we’re happy with our programme and looking forward to qualifying. The new section of the track is pretty difficult, but they got it right I think – it’s a good challenge for the drivers.”
