Webber, ahead of Vettel, is satisfied with his day

Two noticeably different echoes emanate from the garage Red Bull after the first day of free practice for the Chinese Grand Prix. The first comes from a Sebastian Vettel rather unhappy with his day, who could not do better than fourth and tenth during the two sessions. The second, that of his teammate and enemy brother Mark Webber, is decidedly more positive.

“It was a good day and we covered good mileage”, analyzes the Australian, who finished twice in a row ahead of the three-time reigning world champion during both sessions. “There are obviously some fast cars here; we saw it in Malaysia before it rained during qualifying,” remembers the veteran of the set. “We are accumulating a lot of information, but we are still in a preliminary phase of learning the tires. I think we have a bit of work to do, but the car doesn't look too bad, we just have to keep working to understand the tires. It?s nice to have a stable weekend in terms of weather, which is unusual in Shanghai? », concluding note Mark Webber.
