Sebastian Vettel is sure that rain will affect at least part of the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend, with Lewis Hamilton having topped the timesheets on a dry Friday. Rain is forecast for race day, although a threat of showers also remains for Saturday.
“I think we were able to improve the car throughout today, but we definitely need to make another step,” said the double World Champion. “It was hot today and the circuit was slippery, although rain is forecast for the next two days so I think the conditions will change.
“We’re all here to win and it would be great to finish with a good race, but it’s a long weekend ahead and a lot of things can happen. It’s a challenging track and we all like coming here, it’s a good Grand Prix.”
Team-mate Mark Webber also shared his views, having ended the second session in third place, one position and just three hundredths of a second slower than Vettel.
“The track is hot; not super hot in terms of ambient conditions, but the track is very warm and it’s humid too,” the Australian began. “It’s also pretty windy, so it wasn’t the easiest day to get the car dialled in and balanced, but clearly it was the same for everybody.
“I think we had a pretty good day; there are lots of sets of compounds to go through, as it might be the last time we get to run in the dry as there’s potentially some wet weather coming – but we had a good day.”
