Formula One leader Mark Webber says Singapore Grand Prix is a lottery
World championship leader Mark Webber believes Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren are all capable of winning the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Red Bull pilot steered his car around the demanding street circuit to finish second behind teammate Sebastian Vettel in opening practice Friday ahead of rivals Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
But Webber, who came a disappointing sixth in Monza at the last Grand Prix and failed to finish in Singapore last year, knows the opening day is not always an indication of what might happen in qualifying.
"Ferrari still look quick and anyone can be on pole tomorrow, us, Ferrari or McLaren, we just keep trying to do our best," said the Australian, who has a five point championship lead on Hamilton.
"A pretty good first day, the first session was wet, but we got some good running this afternoon," he added.
"I haven't seen the times that closely yet, but I'm pretty happy with how today went.
"I need to work on my short run performance a bit, but overall it's good."
Going into Sunday's Grand Prix, Webber leads the drivers' title race on 187 points, five ahead of Hamilton with Alonso third on 166.
Button is still in the hunt with 164 points while Vettel is fifth, a point further adrift.
