Ромен Грожан:
Today was frustrating as we had quite a few small problems which made it difficult for me to get clean runs and set a good time. This also made it difficult to get the set-up of the car where we want it to be. The positive is that we can see there’s pace in the car from Pastor’s laps. If we can get everything sorted and my car running like it should we could have a good result in qualifying tomorrow.
Пастор Малдонадо:
The car felt good today and it feels like we’re really making progress. We completed more set-up work and it was great to have a day without any issues. With the programme we were running I didn’t set my fastest laps when the track was quickest, so there’s more to come from the car as it is, as well as from further set-up improvements. It’s great to be running in superb weather conditions and with many Venezuelan fans in the crowd. I have a good feeling about this weekend.
Ален Перман:
We had a good start to the day and were able to assess a lot of our new aerodynamic parts, including the floor and front wing, as well as engine mapping upgrades. Pastor was pretty happy with his car straight away, whilst we had a few niggles with Romain’s car which we’re working on rectifying for tomorrow. We’ve accumulated plenty of data which means a good chunk of work to be done overnight and hopefully more performance on track for qualifying tomorrow.
