Кевин Магнусен:
It’s an awesome circuit and quite a challenge. The car didn’t feel fantastic in the first session but it felt much better in FP2 with the set-up progress we’d made and also the track improving. I’m pretty happy with the balance of the car. We’ve got a little work to do with brake locking, but that should get better with the track improvement. I’m looking forward to getting back out tomorrow once we’ve worked a bit more on the car. I think we’re set for an interesting weekend.
Джулиън Палмър:
It was pretty slippery in FP1 and I think most drivers had a moment at some point over the two sessions today. We made good progress with understanding the track and making improvements to the car. I certainly appreciated the extra grip we found on the supersoft runs but we’re still looking for a better balance in the high speed corners, something we can hopefully find in the set-up before qualifying.
Ник Честър:
We enjoyed a productive day learning this dramatic and challenging new venue. Both drivers were able to accumulate a good tally of laps so we have plenty of data to look at overnight. We saw a lot of improvement in grip levels over the course of the day as you’d expect and we spent a decent amount of time looking at the tyre performance which as always is a crucial aspect for the race.
