Mark Webber

1st Practice P1, 2nd  Practice P14

“I think everybody expected this weather today – it looks a bit better for tomorrow and Sunday. It’s normal for Silverstone to have difficult conditions, as the rain showers come fast and the wind is high, so the conditions can change quite quickly. We got some good information on the intermediate tyres today, I did all my running on one set. Hopefully we can try the dry tyres tomorrow.”

Sebastien Vettel

1st Practice P13, 2nd  Practice P18

“The circuit was changing a lot today, so it was hard to find out too much and understand the effect of the changes introduced this weekend, but we will learn more tomorrow. I was happy with the car today and the balance, even in these conditions. I have all the pit crew on my helmet at this year’s race, their local race, to say thank you for all their hard work.”
