Пол Хембри:
The teams completed all the due diligence that they needed today, throughout two free practice sessions that were made particularly important because of the new track surface. As expected, it was ‘green’ and slippery to begin with – not helped by the overnight rain – but we’ve seen a considerable improvement in lap times compared to 2015, with last year’s pole time already beaten in FP1. With qualifying being traditionally so crucial to the race result here, the set-up and tyre evaluation work that continues tomorrow will be of vital importance.
