Mark Webber aiming for pole position at Singaporean Grand Prix – Formula 1 news
Mark Webber of Red Bull Racing anticipates that they will be able to attain the pole of the Singaporean Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
The tyres gave satisfactory performance over the Singaporean circuit however he faced some issues in the long run.
The Australian driver told that they should remain prepared for the next two days despite impressive performance of their team in the first day of practice session.
Webber said, “The track's going to move a bit as well so we need to be ready for that tomorrow night but so far a solid start for us.”
The Red Bull driver faced some issues in the long run and wants to cater to issues by having the data of his teammate Sebastian Vettel. He is satisfied with the performance of soft tyres over the hard bumpy circuit and told that the tyres need some management
and efficient pit stops.
Webber said, “Unfortunately we had a little bit of an issue on my long run so we had to split that, so we'll have a look at how Seb went on his. [The tyres] looked OK, they're going to need managing of course, but it's managing and then make a pit stop and
get another set I suppose so they're going OK.”
The Australian driver is positive that they will be able to fight for the top positions on Sunday, along with McLaren. He added that they cannot ignore Ferrari, as well. They have to prepare for the race as every day is a new day on the circuit. In addition,
he said that they expect a good challenge during the race.
Webber believes that in order to achieve an impressive race on Sunday they have to do well in the events on Saturday. He added that Marina Bay is a low speed circuit therefore blown diffuser could have generated impressive results. Besides, he said that
the speed of Red Bull is less as compared to the last year but still they are much competitive.
Both Red Bull drivers were unable to finish the Italian Grand Prix however they have exhibited impressive results during the Friday practice sessions of Singapore GP. Let’s see how they perform in the remaining two days of the weekend.
