Red Bull Friday Report
Chinese GP
FREE PRACTICE 1 & 2
Car 1 SEBASTIAN VETTEL
1st Practice P1, 2nd Practice P1
“We had a good day today, but it’s only Friday and so it’s early in the race weekend. We found a good rhythm and we’re happy with the car. There’s still a lot to do and I think it will be tight tomorrow and on Sunday, so we’ll look where we can improve. But, today we had no big issues.”
Car 2 MARK WEBBER
1st Practice P2, 2nd Practice P10
“I didn’t have the best P2, particularly on the short run with the new tyres, which is why my time is down a little, but the long run on the option tyre was good. We’ll look at KERS tonight – we’d like to run it this weekend of course. Generally it was a good Friday, we learned a lot and the car was reliable.”
