Monaco Thursday quotes: Red Bull
Sebastian Vettel - 5th: "It's been positive so far. Both tyres are working well and seem to be lasting, which is important. We will see how the conditions are on Sunday, but the super soft tyre seems to be the preferred one for qualifying. It seems to be quicker and you can extract more lap time out of it. I had a good feeling straight away in the car; it's fun driving around here; it's a different track and it's quite bumpy and rough. I brushed the wall after three laps, so hopefully that's that done for the weekend! The car looks competitive, but everyone is very close to each other, so it looks tight."
Mark Webber - 8th: "I had a gear selection issue this morning, which meant I lost some lap time, otherwise wasn't too bad. This afternoon was always going to be the case where you're going out little bit behind, but we still got a lot of good information. It's easy to get out there and try and get to where you should be and make mistakes, but we got the information and have lot to go through. We should be alright by Saturday. We will get back into the groove Saturday and recover the weekend."
