GERMAN GP – FRIDAY PRACTICE

on July 6, 2013 On the track news with 9 comments

Friday 5 July 2013

CAR 1, SEBASTIAN VETTEL
First Practice Session: Position: 8, Best Time: 1:33.213, Laps: 20
Second Practice Session: Position: 1, Best Time: 1:30.416, Laps: 39
“I wasn’t so happy with the car this morning and Mercedes were quick, but in the afternoon we were in better shape. We’ll see, but so far I am happy. To be clear about yesterday and the GPDA meeting: the general agreement was that we’re happy Pirelli bought a new specification of tyre for this event and want to thank them for their flexibility and reaction times – they were able to find a solution in only a couple of days. The circumstances that we raced under in Silverstone were not what we can accept, but I don’t think we will see those issues again.”

CAR 2, MARK WEBBER
First Practice Session: Position: 3, Best Time: 1:32.789, Laps: 22
Second Practice Session: Position: 3, Best Time: 1:30.683, Laps: 41
“It was okay today and we had dry weather, which was good – it meant we could get our runs done on both compounds and the new tyres seem okay. Pirelli have done what they can and gone back to tyres they know work here. It’s impossible to tell how they will affect the performance of the car – but it feels comfortable so far.”

    Despite Vettel winning the championship 3 years in a row, I think Mark is a better all round driver. Vettel has been in the best car and woop de doo he’s been winning, I’d like to see him win the championship 3 years in a row in one of the middle class teams like; Force India, Lotus and Toro Rosso.

    Kick some ass out there! This track seems like it totally suits your style, so show us that absolutely DOMINANT pace you had in Silverstone! -Just keep [Site Manager Edit – inappropriate language removed](Helmut Marko) away from your car; I think he’s sabotaging your starts.

    All the best for a WIN in the race Mark. Unfortunately, I’m going to be missing this one as I’ll be travelling between Oz & UK. Drive safe!
