Mark Webber feels confident after Friday practice of 2012 Korean Grand Prix – Formula 1 news
Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber has said that he is feeling very much confident for the 2012 Korean Grand Prix after the free Friday practice but insisted that they still have some work to do ahead of the qualifying.
Webber set the second fastest time in FP2 and was just 0.032s behind his teammate, Sebastian Vettel who topped the timesheets during the afternoon.
Even though, he said that he is very happy with the overall performance of the car and admired his team for making the significant developments. Nevertheless, he said that they still need to make some necessary step-ups before the qualifying so as to take
the optimal advantage of their update package.
“We had a pretty good programme set out and we both managed to get the best out of it,” he said. “We'll look at where we can improve tonight, it's always a compromise at a track like this with high speeds in the first sector and then the last sector where
the track is pretty twisty in terms of rhythm. We've got to learn what the tyres need a little bit more and also look at the long run performance from both of us. We both managed to get quite a lot of laps on the options so we'll analyse that tonight.”
Although, many drivers complained about the dusty track during the morning session due to which they could not gather the required level of information concerning their upgrades. However, the Australian driver seemed contended with his run and asserted that
the conditions at the Korea International Circuit were almost the same as it can be at any other track in the calendar.
In addition, he said that they are hoping to see improvements in the track conditions tomorrow and are aiming to perform well in the qualifying in order to secure competitive grid slots. Besides, he expressed that he is eagerly waiting for the race day and
is targeting to attain good result for his team.
It will be exciting to see how the drivers of the Milton Keynes based team perform in the upcoming race.
