NOT (STRICTLY) OUR HOME RACE!
The factory might be just a few miles away from Silverstone, in Milton Keynes, but Red Bull Racing is entered in the World Championship as an Austrian team...
Car 15 SEBASTIAN VETTEL
1st Practice P1, 2nd Practice P1
"Overall I think it was a good day for both of us. I don't know what happened to Mark at the end of the second session, but otherwise it was a smooth run through the programme. We were able to do a lot of laps and collect a lot of data. The new parts that we brought here seem to be working well, which is a good sign, but on a Friday it's always difficult to know how quick we really are. I think we've made a step forward though and, just like our team slogan Red Bull Gives You Wings, I think they helped us today for our performance on track."

"It's been a pretty good day for us; we've tried a few new bits here, which seem to be going pretty well. We've tried both sets of tyres and need to go through all the data tonight. My second session ended a little early as I hit a kerb on Turn five, which caused the car's electronics to stop. Silverstone is a spectacular circuit and always has been -- it's phenomenal to drive it in a Formula One car. I was lucky enough to talk to some of the fans when I stopped on the track and they said the car was looking incredible, so it's nice to see that they're enjoying what we're doing."
