“It was pretty good for us today. We got
through our programme, tested both types of tyre and gathered some
useful data for tomorrow’s running. We will need to take a good look
at what’s best for us in terms of tyres and things like wing levels,
but I really enjoyed tackling this circuit for the first time in a
Formula One car, and am now looking forward to tomorrow.” |

“That last flying lap was not a pretty one,
but we did the best with the amount of grip we had available. The last
run was still quite low grip for us. In picking the Prime tyre, which
Michelin recommends for the race tomorrow, we hope that the sacrifice
in qualifying today will have been worth it. We ran as fast as we
could this afternoon, and now we’ll see how tomorrow unfolds.” |

| “We
had quite low grip all afternoon and that, combined with the fact Alex
had a lost less fuel at the start of the race, meant he was able to
get by at the beginning. I knew, though, it was a matter of time and I
could get the place back. I just did my best this afternoon, and tried
really hard in the last few laps to get even more out of the car,
which was when I set my fastest lap. It wasn’t easy for us today, but
I’m really happy for the guys. We got another 10th place finish, which
is important for us, and the guys have done a fantastic job all year.”
