Кевин Магнусен:
We made good progress today and the car is certainly faster on the ultrasoft compared with the soft tyre as you’d expect. I was pushing quite hard so there was a bit of flat-spotting going on out there. The gearbox issue in the morning was no big drama and we did have to check the car again in the afternoon. I think we should find a little more pace for qualifying.
Джулиън Палмър:
That was a lot of laps in FP2 and we’ve completed a lot of assessments over the two sessions today meaning we should have all the pieces to put together to go as fast as possible for qualifying. We didn’t show all the pace that’s in the car over my side of the garage today; that’s tomorrow’s job.
Реми Тафин:
Today was the first day we ran with both cars using our latest B specification power unit as debuted in Monaco and both units performed well. The crew in the garage did a great job to rectify the issue with Kevin’s gearbox in the morning. There was a large variation in track temperature between the cold morning and the hot afternoon which provides an additional challenge when determining the best set-up for the car. We also have the expectation of very different weather again for the race on Sunday, so there is still a lot of work to be done for the track engineers.
