МакЛарън за петък


Ландо Норис:
A decent day – the car is feeling pretty good. There are some things I’m struggling with a little bit, but on the whole I have good confidence in the car and it’s probably a better start to the weekend than in Barcelona. We completed all the testing items on the car and did everything we needed to in the session. The car balance is feeling pretty nice, but we have to wait until tomorrow to really see what the weather does – and when everyone turns up their engines.
Карлос Сайнц:
A normal Friday for us. We used both sessions to try some alternative set-ups and ideas that we had from the last race, which were interesting. We were competitive pace-wise and we seem to be in the mix for the top 10, but it’s only Friday. The Racing Points and the Renaults looked particularly quick here, so if we want to battle them this weekend we need to keep finding pace going into tomorrow.
Андреа Стела:
We’ve had a productive Friday. The rain that was expected at some stage didn’t show up, so we were able to run consistently with both cars and get through the programme. Today, that involved assessing some aerodynamic and mechanical parts being introduced at this race, and, of course, understanding the tyres – in case it’s a dry race. Going forward, I think we have a good baseline both in low fuel and high fuel, but at the same time we know there’s weather around which can affect qualifying, Sunday’s race, or both. We have to be prepared for every eventuality and be ready to give our best whatever the weather.
