Red Bull report from Suzuka
CAR 1, SEBASTIAN VETTEL
First Practice Session: Position: 3, Best Time: 1:34.768, Laps: 24
Second Practice Session: Position: 1, Best Time: 1:33.852, Laps: 35
“The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve. Looking after the tyres will be important here, especially during the race. The car works fine at the moment, but we need to make sure we set it up the right way. It’s good to see we are up there today, but it’s not always so important; we need to step up our game for tomorrow, as Mercedes will be strong in qualifying.”
CAR 2, MARK WEBBER
First Practice Session: Position: 4, Best Time: 1:34.787, Laps: 20
Second Practice Session: Position: 2, Best Time: 1:34.020, Laps: 35
“On one lap, it looks pretty tight with the Mercedes and with the Lotus’, but I haven’t had a close look at the times: it doesn’t look too bad. We've done a lot of laps today and will now work on tomorrow. The track is a special one and in terms of difficulty, it’s right up there. We have to be very accurate and if you're not, then you get penalised. We have to find performance tonight, it's our job to make improvements each day and we have a job to do tonight to find some more tenths.”

Did Mark's chassis, engine gearbox recover unscathed from last week?
It would be a novelty for him to start with a grid penalty.

Apparently his engine and gearbox survived OK in the fire, but the chassis itself was cracked from the initial impact with Sutil.
He has therefore had to revert to the chassis he last used in Hungary - which is marginally heavier, so he does have a small handicap.
Obviously most of the ancillary parts were damaged in the fire, so a very busy rebuild for his side of the garage was called for.
