Spanish Grand Prix Friday Practice Red Bull Views
By Ian Lockwood
May 8 2009
Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel give their views on Friday Free Practice as the European Formula One season gets underway at the the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix.

Car 15 SEBASTIAN VETTEL

1st Practice P13, 2nd Practice P7

"A pretty normal Friday except that at some stage we had a problem with the radio and I think I had some Spanish taxidrivers to talking to me! Other than that it was normal Friday business. We did a lot of laps and tested some new parts, which I think we got an answer on, but to be sure for tomorrow and Sunday we will compare the data in comparison to our competitors.

I'm confident there are areas where I can improve and where we can improve the car, so we have to work hard and come back stronger tomorrow."

Car 14 MARK WEBBER

1st Practice P12, 2nd Practice P5  

"Another cliff hanging Friday eh? Ha ha. Obviously everyone knows this track very well, so it's always going to be pretty tight around here, but we had a pretty good P2. P1 wasn't that great, but P2 was better for us and I got a better feeling for the car. We had a little problem on the last run in P2, but we know what that was about. The guys did a good job today and we've got a solid amount of data to go through tonight, so I think we're in pretty good shape."

I missed FP2 on BBC, what was he referring to?

Not sure Jez. MW ran shorter stints than Vettel but his times looked consistent but a tad slower than Seb. Overall I thought RBRs race pace looked very good in P2.

Mark forgot to mention his speeding fine!

"Mark Webber received a €6,400 fine for speeding in Friday's second practice session. In the 60kmh-limited Barcelona pitlane, the Red Bull driver was caught by FIA stewards at 91.5kmh."
