Red Bull Racing's 2010 campaign got off to a frustrating start in the first two practice sessions at the Bahrain International Circuit.

Car 5 Sebastian Vettel: 1st Practice P13, 2nd Practice P5 

"So, the first day of the first race. Unfortunately we didn't get a lot of running today. The track was still green this morning, so everyone was just checking their cars. In the second practice I had to have the brakes changed and Mark couldn't do the whole session, so it wasn't ideal. I would have liked more track time, but it's not Christmas and we're not given things for free. We have a lot of work to do, but we know where we need to improve, so we will work on that."

Car 6 Mark Weber: 1st Practice P9, 2nd Practice P17  

"Not such a good day and not enough mileage. We missed out a bit this afternoon; I had a gearbox problem, so the team made a precautionary stop with the car which ended P2 early. We'll have to re- group and get what we can out of today - we'll be focusing on qualifying in tomorrow's practice. We still learnt some stuff today and Seb looked at the tyres. You can already see that it's going to be bloody competitive this year, it's going to be a good fight out there."
