Team Talk - Friday at Suzuka

Ferrari

Kimi Raikkonen: "Today the weather was not very good and the track conditions were a bit tricky. It's a shame for everybody but it was a day like any other for us: we did some running and tried to learn something. We have to wait until tomorrow and see how the weather comes out to be, it could be anything. We'll try to do a good job and make the best out of it."

Sebastian Vettel: "We tried to do some laps but it was not so easy, because sometimes there was quite a lot of water on the track. In these conditions it's a lot up to the driver if he wants to continue or not, feeling the tyres and feeling the conditions. Also, the conditions not being consistent, it's not so easy to compare your car to other people's car. In general at the beginning I think we were not where we wanted to be, but maybe in the end we learned some lessons. Now let's see how the weather will be in the next couple of days."
