Indian GP – Practice – Friday, 28.10.2011
Weather: dry, 25-30°C air, 30-39°C track
The Sauber F1 Team with its drivers Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Pérez made full use of the first day of practice ahead of the inaugural Indian Grand Prix. The brand new Buddh International Circuit welcomed F1 with an extremely dusty and slippery surface, but stable weather conditions with a dry heat. Both drivers did a lot of set-up work and completed the programme as planned.
Kamui Kobayashi:
Sauber C30-Ferrari (Chassis 02 / Ferrari 056)
1st Practice: 10th / 1:29.355 min (29 laps) / 2nd Practice: 12th / 1:28.050 min (34 laps)
“The lay-out of the track is really nice, and I have a good feeling driving the circuit. Because it is new it was very dusty and slippery, especially in the morning. The first laps were like driving in the wet. Here we have the soft and the hard tyre compounds. With the hard ones you cannot really drive here, while with the soft tyres it was still not easy to heat them up and get them to work properly, but there is no comparison to the hard ones.”
Giampaolo Dall’Ara, Head of Track Engineering:
“When you come to a new venue it is always important that you have a trouble free first day, and this is what we had. We completed our normal Friday programme as planned and worked on the set-up of the car. It is impossible to get grip from the hard tyre compound but this didn’t come as a surprise.”

フリー走行2回目:12番手/1分28秒050(34周)
「このコースのレイアウトはすごくナイスで、走っていてとても気持ちいいです。新しいサーキットということで、特に午前中はとてもほこりっぽいし、滑りやすかったです。最初の数周はまるでウエット路面を走行しているみたいでした。ここではソフトとハードのタイヤコンパウンドを使いますが、ハードは運転することができないほどだし、ソフトでもタイヤに熱を入れて、きちんと機能させるのは簡単ではないです。でもハードとは比較にならないです」
ジャンパオロ・ダラーラ:ヘッド・オブ・トラックエンジニアリング
「新しいサーキットに来た時は、とにかく初日トラブルなく終えることが大切で、そのとおりの一日となった。予定していたいつもの金曜日のプログラムでクルマのセットアップワークに務めた。ハードタイヤからグリップを得るのは不可能だったが、それは驚きではなかった」
