MONACO GP – THURSDAY PRACTICE

Thursday 24 May 2012

Car 1, Sebastian Vettel
“We didn’t learn too much from today due to the conditions. It wasn’t ideal as this morning we had a red flag and then it rained this afternoon; as a result it’s hard to say where we are. We didn’t have a lot of grip due to the rain, it was very slippery on track and there were a lot of cars out at the same time – but it was the same for everyone. The weather can change quickly here and now you see there is sunshine again already.”

Car 2, Mark Webber
“It was not easy for us, as for all the teams today, and we’ve got some work to do in the next 24 hours. There are clearly some very quick cars and we need to see where we can improve. Obviously it was limited running for everyone, so we didn’t do as much as we would have liked; but that’s how it went today and Monaco’s like that – it throws up some challenges. The track’s quite inconsistent in terms of grip – but we did learn some things today.”
