CAR 1, SEBASTIAN VETTEL
First Practice Session: Position: 8, Best Time: 1:33.213, Laps: 20Second Practice Session: Position: 1, Best Time: 1:30.416, Laps: 39I wasnt so happy with the car this morning and Mercedes were quick, but in the afternoon we were in better shape. Well see, but so far I am happy. To be clear about yesterday and the GPDA meeting: the general agreement was that were happy Pirelli bought a new specification of tyre for this event and want to thank them for their flexibility and reaction timesthey 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 dont think we will see those issues again.
CAR 2, MARK WEBBERFirst Practice Session: Position: 3, Best Time: 1:32.789, Laps: 22Second Practice Session: Position: 3, Best Time: 1:30.683, Laps: 41It was okay today and we had dry weather, which was goodit 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. Its impossible to tell how they will affect the performance of the carbut it feels comfortable so far.
