Spa - Free Practice 1 & 2 - Team Views
By Ian Lockwood September 6 2008
Red Bull Racing report on the opening two free practice sessions at Spa-Francorchamps. A mixed Friday saw signs of improvement in Free Practice 1 with Mark Webber finishing sixth fastest on the timesheets. In the second session however, Mark fell victim to the wet track and ended up with his car in the barriers and little running. Coulthard finished the day in 12th spot.

Car 10 MARK WEBBER, 1st Practice P6, 2nd Practice P20

"It was a pretty good first session, we did quite a lot of running in anticipation of the mixed conditions forecast for the afternoon. We did one run in the afternoon, but unfortunately I then went back out and made a mistake on an out lap on slightly cool tyres. I couldn't recover it in Turn 8, slid across the gravel and damaged the car. We'll be back again tomorrow."

Car 9 DAVID COULTHARD, 1st Practice P15 2nd Practice P12

"Tricky Spa weather conditions this weekend, which makes it more difficult to evaluate where you are with the tyres etc. due to the changing conditions. What else to say? Don't come here on your Summer holidays?"
