Mark Webber said it had been a good day for himself and his Red Bull team after he finished Friday's free practice session with the fourth fastest time.

"That was a good day; we had an engine change in between the two sessions, which was planned," said Webber. "It was the usual suspects up at the front today and Fernando, Seb and I were pretty much on similar times."

Ominously for Red Bull's rivals, Webber said the car felt just like it did in Brazil, where the team recorded a dominant 1-2.

"The car is close to what we had in Brazil, it's hard to develop a car which is pretty solid already. It feels a bit like we're in Bahrain here in terms of the engineers' office and in the car it feels like a normal weekend, but obviously there's a lot more at stake - that's the only thing that's changed, but you can't try any harder."
