Red Bull Abu Dhabi GP Friday practice report
Red Bull press release
Mark Webber:
"It looks easy to get it wrong on Turn 1, when you see guys of the calibre of Alonso and Vettel getting out of shape, e then you give a bit of a margin and come back up to it. All in all, it was a pretty good afternoon and night for us and we got all the laps done that we needed to.
I won't predict anything, as we know on Sunday that things can change, but we're going pretty well and I feel happy with the car."
Sebastian Vettel:
"I had an incident in P2. It wasn't too much, I lost the car on the entrance to Turn 1. I think I was too wide and too far on to the kerb, so I lost the rear and couldn't catch the car anymore. I was lucky to get out again at the end of P2; there wasn't much damage apart from the front wing. If you just touch the kerb there, then it's fine, but I went too far on to it. Looking to the car, we are there or thereabouts - but it will be tight tomorrow I think."
