Friday Summary: Red Bull – Webber is in shape

Mark Webber was the fastest throughout the first day of the Malaysian Grand Prix. The Australian had struggled in his home race in Australia, prompting the team to dismantle his car to check for any issues. Nothing was found, but Webber seems to be in much better form.

Mark Webber – 1st and 1st:

« We seem okay, but it’s only the beginning of the weekend. We had a dry track and the car is running well. It has been reliable, which is always a good bonus. We need to look at all the tires, including the new tires that Pirelli brought here. We need to look at the information we collected today, but for the moment everything is going well for us. »

Sebastian Vettel – 17th and 4th:

«We did a lot of laps this morning because of the larger number of tires. This afternoon, we more or less did what was planned. We didn’t have any major issues, but we racked up kilometers and loaded a lot of things on board. »

The rear tires are different here than in Melbourne. I believe it’s the same for everyone, at least it is for us. We’ll see where we are tomorrow.
