Business as usual, says Vettel

The German ended Friday's free practice in fourth position, one place ahead of his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber, adding that it is business as usual for the two-time grand prix winner.

"Obviously it's back to normal now," he said. "Last weekend was fantastic, but we have to carry on as there's a lot of work to do! So our minds are now set to focus on Bahrain.

"It was a normal Friday, we were more or less able to do our full programme and had no issues with the car. Performance-wise, it's difficult to comment, but the car feels alright. We were struggling to find a good balance this morning, but it was better this afternoon.

Webber agreed that he found it tricky to establish a balance with his RB5 on his way to fifth fastest time: "We have very dry conditions and, as usual, Bahrain throws up its challenge with car balance.

"We had a productive Friday, running on both tyres and the car ran faultlessly," he added, "In terms of pace it's always hard to say who's where on Friday - but hopefully we're in good shape again to get some good results on Sunday."
