Zoom Webber the first victim at Spa Francorchamps

David Coulthard had little to says after three hours of Friday free practice ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix that saw him record the 15th and 12th best time. Team-mate Mark Webber had a more eventful day however as he made a late gain in the morning session to set the sixth fastest time but crashed out at Rivage in the afternoon and was slowest of the session.

Mark Webber
“It was a pretty good first session, we did quite a lot of running in anticipation of the mixed conditions forecast for the afternoon. We did one run in the afternoon, but unfortunately I then went back out and made a mistake on an out lap on slightly cool tyres. I couldn’t recover it in turn eight, slid across the gravel and damaged the car. We’ll be back again tomorrow. ”

David Coulthard
“Tricky Spa weather conditions this weekend, which makes it more difficult to evaluate where you are with the tyres etc. due to the changing conditions. What else to say? Don’t come here on your Summer holidays?”
