Mark Webber says that Red Bull has made some changes to follow Pirelli's advised camber settings in the Italian Grand Prix.

Red Bull was at the centre of a controversy in Belgium when heavy blistering on the front tyres in qualifying left it unsure how long the rubber would last before a failure. Pirelli said that some teams had been going beyond the recommended maximum angle of camber, and as a result it reduced its suggested angle for the Italian Grand Prix this weekend.

Following practice Webber said that Red Bull was following the guidelines as he searched for the optimum set-up.

"We re-adjusted a few things following the camber setting guidelines for this race," Webber said. "Set-up here can be interesting, as it's a compromise between grip for corning and straight-line speed. Seb [Vettel] and I ran different programmes today, so we'll put that info together tonight.

"That was pretty good. We've got a lot to go through regarding downforce and gear ratios, it's a pretty tricky venue in that regard. The two different tyre compounds are behaving pretty well, we did most of our work in P2 on the option tyre."
