2011 Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix: Friday second free practice results

Mark Webber out-paced World Champion team-mate Sebastian Vettel in both Yas Marina practice sessions on Friday, eventually ending the day a narrow 28 thousandths of a second quicker than the German. However, both Red Bulls were slower than the McLaren and Ferrari drivers which topped the timesheets.

“It looks easy to get it wrong at Turn 1, when you see guys of the calibre of Alonso and Vettel getting out of shape, then you give a bit of a margin and come back up to it,” the Australian said after practice.

“All in all, it was a pretty good afternoon and night for us and we got all the laps done that we needed to. I won’t predict anything, as we know on Sunday that things can change, but we’re going pretty well and I feel happy with the car.”
