Webber: A pretty good day
10 July 2009 / Results / PhotosMark Webber was satisfied with his first day of driving at the Nürburgring, topping the timesheets in Friday's morning practice session before dropping to fourth later in the day. With just over a tenth of a second separating Mark with team-mate Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button, a close Grand Prix looks to be on the cards for Sunday.

As Saturday's all-important qualifying session draws ever-closer, a wet-dry Friday gave teams and drivers the chance to develop car setups in the variable conditions of the Eifel mountains. "That was a pretty good day for us," Webber said after the conclusion of practice. "We expected changeable and cool conditions, which are so typical of the Nürburgring, so there were no surprises with that."
What did the Australian's programme consist of? "We did the normal Friday stuff, comparing the tyres, and it seems pretty straightforward," he explained. "We got a reasonable amount of laps in and have some good bits to go through tonight. The guys worked very well today and we were able to do everything we needed, so onwards to tomorrow!"
