~ Sebastian Vettel: “I think the car suits the track…” ~ Ominously for the opposition the Red Bull pair of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber topped both sessions in Hungary today, although Lotus is keeping RBR on its toes. Vettel was 0.287s ahead of third placed Kimi Raikkonen in the morning, and 0.153s in front of Romain Grosjean in the afternoon. The German remains cautious about his prospects. “It’s the beginning of the weekend, and it’s good to have a certain speed in the car, which I think we have,” he said. “The car feels fine. But surely there’s a lot of work, and still quite some room for improvement. “It was a good day for us I think, with quite some work in the background. It’s obviously always nice when you feel in control of the car and you can do what you like to play around. I think the car suits the track.” Asked if he thought Red Bull could be dominant this weekend, he said: “I hope so! But I think it’s too early to tell. Surely practice one and practice two were very good for us, both of us, which I think was a bit of a surprise. You try to do what you can but you don’t know where the others are. I think tomorrow will be close so we need to make sure that we get everything out of the car tomorrow.” Vettel said that the new tyres have not made much difference. “Obviously we have no comparison here, but it’s a step in the right direction. It’s not a massive difference in the car, similar to the test last week, it’s very difficult to feel the difference. The most important thing is that the tyres are safe. So far nobody had any issues.”
