Like the majority of the drivers, Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel struggled for grip on the slippy Autódromo José Carlos Pace.
Vettel finished third in both practice sessions in Brazil but admits it was a ‘difficult day’.
“Overall it was a difficult day. We didn’t get the best timing for our run, so now we look forward to the analysis of our laps. Hopefully, we can make a step forward for tomorrow and improve the car.
The German believes the circuit is more difficult than last year.
“Today everybody struggled quite a lot with the tires: they seem even more tricky than last year, but then I think it was slippery for everyone. I tried to do the best I could, but maybe I wasn’t quick enough. The car was moving around and sliding quite a lot. Hopefully tomorrow we will be in better shape.”
Vettel has won the Brazilian Grand Prix on two previous occasions, in 2010 and 2013 while driving for Red Bull.
