"Today has shown that we have reason to be confident for the weekend ahead. Obviously, it's early in our preparation to be making any firm predictions for Sunday, but this is where I would have expected to be in the timesheets after the progress we made in testing last week.”
“We experienced the usual Friday conditions in the morning session, with low grip causing a problem whilst the circuit was cleaning up. This afternoon, we've been able to do more work with the tyres and set-up. We completed some reasonably good long runs, but we still have some work to do to ensure we are able to get the most out of the new package in qualifying tomorrow.”
"It was a very good day for the team. We were competitive straight away and the car performed well, showing that our form has continued from our last two tests. It seems to me that we are back on the pace, which is a really good sign and we did not have any problems.”
“I was caught in traffic a few times, as it was a busy on the circuit today, but, other than that the car was working well and we will work on the set up for the longer runs for the race on Sunday."
