Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber report on their first day behind the wheel in Singapore

Sebastian Vettel

It’s a demanding circuit, it’s quite warm with the suit etc. and on top of that you have to focus – it’s one of the toughest tracks for the mind here. I quite like it, but I’m sure no one’s jumping out of the car looking better than when they got in. We worked on the set up of the car, but the baseline was not too bad. We still have to make a good step overnight. It looked pretty tight out there today, so we need to wait and see.”

Mark Webber

“It wasn’t too bad. I need to find a bit more pace, but there’s a bit of low hanging fruit which we can grab tonight, which will be good for us. Seb’s going alright, so I just need to find a bit more and get into it tomorrow. In Free Practice 1, I had a small incident. I thought Glock was letting me through, but he didn’t know I was there, so when we got to the apex, our cars touched.”
