Vettel: 'It will be a tough one'

Both Red Bull drivers didn't manage to be at the top of the time sheets today. In the last session Mark Webber was fourth and Sebastian Vettel was 'only' fifth fastest. The German says that it will be a tight race: "I felt a little bit better in the car, but it's not like last year, it seems very tight and McLaren and Ferrari are quick. I think we need to raise our game if we want to be at the front. I am not sure if KERS and DRS will have such a big effect this weekend, but I think the new tyres will be a major factor. I've just stepped out of the car, so haven't seen what the others did – I think they will be the most important thing to look out for, in terms of managing the tyres for one lap, but equally for getting the most out of them for a whole stint. It will be a tough one."
Vettel currently walks around with a bandage around his hand after a small accident, but it's nothing says the reigning champion: "The bandage on my hand? It's just a little thing, but you know how it goes with us men, we like to make a big fuss!"
Last year Vettel was on the pole position.
