Patrick Head, Director of Engineering
It was very interesting to see the track develop and the way both tyres are behaving. I think everyone is experiencing graining on the option tyre, so that may cause some different race strategies. For us, we had a normal Friday, although we’d be happier if our lap times were a bit quicker, but we think we know where that is going to come from.
Rubens Barrichello
We had a reasonable day. The track is getting better all the time. We started running on a high fuel load fairly early on, so I don’t think that where we ended today’s running is entirely reflective.
Nico Hulkenberg
driving here. We had a good first session this morning but we made some changes to the set-up for the afternoon which didn’t take us forward. The car felt quite different and I struggled to get the lap time out of it. We were looking competitive all morning though so we’ll go back to what we had originally and improve tomorrow. |

2010 KOREAN GRAND PRIX – FREE PRACTICE
Korean International Circuit, Friday October 22
LEWIS HAMILTON
MP4-25A-02
P1 programme 15 laps 1m40.887s 1st
P2 programme 29 laps 1m37.942s (+0.337s) 3rd
“This morning, the track was extremely dusty, so all the drivers were sliding around quite a lot. But the track evolution throughout the day has been quite dramatic, so the track is looking quite good now, even if there’s still plenty of dust off-line.
“We look to be quick along the straights, and we seem to be competitive in the second and third sectors too, which is encouraging. The track is very fast – and you need a good car around here, which I feel we’ve got.
“Today was spent evaluating some new developments we’d brought to this track. The times suggest we look as competitive as the Red Bulls, but the Renaults and Ferraris also look quick – so qualifying might come down to which driver can pull the most time out of his quick lap.”
JENSON BUTTON
MP4-25A-01
P1 programme 16 laps 1m41.940s (+1.053s) 5th
P2 programme 19 laps 1m38.726s (+0.784s) 5th
“Our car has been performing pretty well here and I’ve been enjoying the circuit – it’s fun and flowing. While the track was pretty tricky initially because it was quite slippery, I felt like we got to grips with it quite quickly. There’s just a lot of dust, that’s the only problem.
“I lost a little bit of time in the afternoon session, which was disappointing because I didn’t get to run with high fuel. The car just overheated – so I jumped out in the pitlane because it started smoking – and we lost a bit of time tidying it up. Apart from that, it’s been a pretty good day.
“We’re very strong in the first sector, which I guess people expected, but we’re also pretty strong in the other sectors, which is encouraging for us. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the weekend, in fact.”
MARTIN WHITMARSH
Team principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
“Today was an encouraging first day for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team. First impressions suggest our new upgrades are working, and that we seem to have the performance to match the other world championship front-runners. We’ll be deploying our new rear wing for the remainder of the weekend.
“Following some extremely in-depth preparatory work undertaken back at the McLaren Technology Centre, both Jenson and Lewis were able to very rapidly get to grips with the new track configuration – something that enabled us to focus even more keenly on set-up development.
“The front-running teams appear to be very evenly matched, which bodes well for an extremely exciting qualifying session tomorrow.”

After some very careful familiarisation laps in the morning, the brand
new tarmac of the Korean International Circuit in Mokpo started to develop
some grip, and both free practice sessions went okay for Kamui Kobayashi
and Nick Heidfeld. Both the Japanese and the German praised the lay-out of
the new circuit.
Weather: sunny and dry, 19-23°C air, 25-34°C track
Kamui Kobayashi:
C29.04 / Ferrari 056
1st Practice: 13th / 1:43.309 min (20 laps) / 2nd Practice: 10th /
1:39.564 min (26 laps)
“The track is quite nice. It is challenging, and the last sector
especially is difficult but nice to drive. The only problem is the surface
is still too slippery. Tyre graining is massive with both compounds. In
the first session we started my programme quite early before the track had
improved a bit, and my tyres were completely gone. That’s why I stopped
a few minutes early. “
Nick Heidfeld:
C29.03 / Ferrari 056
1st Practice: 8th / 1:42.293 (18 laps) / 2nd Practice: 11th / 1:39.588 min
(25 laps)
“We expected the track to have a very low grip level in the beginning,
but it was even lower than we thought. We started with lap times around
two minutes, but then the grease and dirt started to disappear, rubber was
laid and the circuit started to be really good fun. It is nice it has a
lay-out with corner combinations. This means you need to get the first one
right to get into the flow for the following ones, and I like that. The
harder tyres took a long time to warm up, while even with the softer
compound the first lap wasn’t the quickest. Very soon after we reached
the right temperature the tyres started graining. I hope this problem will
lessen as the grip level improves. I am happy we had a dry and trouble
free day to work on the set-up. We learned more and I can see potential to
improve it.”
James Key, Technical Director:
“Not surprisingly it was a busy day learning this new track. As
we expected it was very, very slippery in the beginning with the new
tarmac having just been laid down. It was quite difficult for the drivers
and the engineers to know exactly what issues we had to look at, because
the lap times improved very significantly all through the session. But we
did our best to go through some set-up changes to get a feel for what the
car is responding to. We made some mechanical changes on both cars and did
some aerodynamic tests on Kamui’s. In the afternoon the track had more
grip and was more consistent, so we were able to do a standard programme.
We looked at some downforce levels and further set-up changes from the
morning, and we evaluated the prime and the option tyres to see how they
are performing. There is still a lot to understand, so we are going to be
very busy tonight analysing all the data. Overall we are happy with the
day, the drivers seem to be fairly comfortable, and I think the track is
really good. It looks like a drivers’ circuit. Hopefully we can maintain
our momentum tomorrow.”
