Car 1 SEBASTIAN VETTEL“It was an exciting start to the season, as there’s always a lot going on in Melbourne. We were able to complete a lot of laps today, but the weather has been a bit difficult. It starts raining, but then goes dry again, which doesn't make it that easy to test different things. Despite that, I think we got a good idea as to where we are compared to our competitors. All in all I think we can be pleased, it seems we are not too bad, but we have to wait and see.”
Car 2 MARK WEBBER
“We had some Melbourne showers at the end of P2, which are always pretty tricky round here, but in general it was a pretty good day forus. We’ve still got some work to do; there are some quick guys out there. It was good to finally try the tyres out on this circuit and I had a gowith everything new on the car. McLaren look quick, but with Ferrari you can never tell, as they always run a bit more fuel on a Friday.”
