Infiniti and Red Bull Racing: Australian Grand Prix Practice 1 and 2
Car 2 MARK WEBBER
1st Practice P5, 2nd Practice P11
“We did learn a little today – but after nine weeks of anxious waiting it was a shame with the weather. Mother Nature played a big role and it made it quite challenging for everyone. We got some dry running at the end of each session, which was good. The track was drying out reasonably quickly, but there were still a few sections at the end that were damp. In the end we got what we could out of it, but we still have some work to do. It was compromised running for everyone; I’m looking forward to coming back tomorrow.”

“I think obviously with the conditions it’s difficult to get a lot of running, but it was the same for all of us. The little time we had this afternoon was okay, but now we have to find the balance and learn a bit more about the car. The important thing now is to make a step overnight and go from there. Track time is important when the car is still young.”
