Q: Kimi, talk us through the day. Kimi: A practice day. Q: What was the grip out there? Kimi: Not very good. Q: The new power unit from Ferrari – what difference does it make? Kimi: We’ll see. Q: You had to do the job as Antonio had an issue… Kimi: We started okay, it’s still not the best feeling with the car, but we tried a few different things for the second practice. We still have a lot of work to do and if we can go a few tenths quicker then we can move up some positions as it is very tight in the midfield. Q: What about the tyres? Kimi: Friday is Friday. Saturday is Saturday.

It was a tough day for us, in which we haven’t completed a lot of laps. During FP1, I got a bit too much of the inside kerb on turn eight and that pushed me a bit too wide on turn nine. I lost the car on exit and there was the smallest touch with the wall, but enough to cause damage. FP2 was pretty much lost, as we only went out to check the car, so we lost a lot of track time today. We have a lot of work ahead of us tonight.
