Red Bull Monaco Free Practice Report

Mark & Seb give their views from Thursdays free practice sessions.

CAR 2, MARK WEBBER

First Practice Session: Position: 7, Best Time: 1:17.020, Laps: 27 
Second Practice Session: Position: 5, Best Time: 1:15.404, Laps: 42

 “I think traditionally we’re never too electric here on Thursday’s, so today was actually one of the better ones we’ve had in the last few years. You’ve got to be very, very focused here; concentration is very, very high. It’s a challenging venue to pull everything together; we want to obviously get short run performance as well as gaining short and long run data, which I think we’ve got. There are some quick cars out there; we’ve seen that on Saturday at the last few GPs. All in all, a reasonably smooth day for us, we’ve got plenty to go through now.”

CAR 1, SEBASTIAN VETTEL 

First Practice Session: Position: 10, Best Time: 1:17.380, Laps: 23 
Second Practice Session: Position: 9, Best Time: 1:16.014, Laps: 33

“I think generally it was okay. Unfortunately we lost quite a lot of time in the afternoon while we were making some changes, but that can happen on Friday, or in this case Thursday. We’d like to be a little bit more competitive, so we need to try and find some more lap time. We had a KERS issue this afternoon, so I didn’t use the system during P2. The guys know what the problem was with that.”

Situation normal.
Seb has KERS issues in free practice so they switch units between cars before quali and the race
