Webber and Hamilton top Friday FP in Brazil

Mark Webber

“The track is hot, not super hot in terms of ambient conditions, but the track is very warm and it’s humid too. It’s also pretty windy, so it wasn’t the easiest day to get the car dialled in and balanced, but clearly it was the same for everybody. I think we had a pretty good day; there are lots of sets of compounds to go through, as it might be the last time we get to run in the dry as there’s potentially some wet weather coming - but we had a good day.”

FP2

Lewis Hamilton,

“The car felt really good today - on both high and low fuel. And degradation on the new option tyre seems pretty acceptable; I was still doing decent times at the end of my run. I think there’s still a bit more to come, but we’re looking strong for the rest of the weekend.
