[Comment From andy from aus andy from aus : ] 
hi guys any idea why webber was slow in p2? ED - From Webber "I didn’t have the best P2, particularly on the short run with the new tyres, which is why my time is down a little, but the long run on the option tyre was good. We’ll look at KERS tonight – we’d like to run it this weekend of course. Generally it was a good Friday, we learned a lot and the car was reliable"

Webber appears to have a KERS problem as the Red Bull mechanics don rubber gloves to protect themselves from electric shocks. He hadn't used any of it on his last run and ran wide into turn six. ED - Yes, that is likely
