“It was a great day, finishing P3 in both sessions for the first time this year. In FP1 I felt good straight away. FP2 was the tyre test, and to be in the top three again felt good. Hopefully we can still improve and fine tune tomorrow. We’re aiming for Q3. So far, we’re top of the midfield and that’s where we want to be. Especially as we fight with Haas for P6 in the Championship. Let’s see how it goes tomorrow and we’ll keep our minds sharp. So far, it’s a good start.”

“It’s been a very positive day for the team. We’ll find out more tomorrow, but it’s nice to see the stint we made last week is transitioning into this weekend. From our side we have a little bit more to find, but luckily, we have plenty of track time this weekend with the other session tomorrow morning to try and make the most of that. Hopefully by Quali we’ll have a car that’s in a good window to get some points.”

“A very smooth and straightforward Friday for us, which is how we like them. It was obviously a different schedule as we were doing a Pirelli tyre test in FP2 along with all the other teams. In FP1, we learned what we could about the balance of one of the race tyres and did a slightly longer than usual high fuel run and then in FP2, we followed the Pirelli programme. Both drivers are pretty happy with their cars. Yuki has a small update to his floor here, which is a modification to the new specification of floor that we brought to Austin. Liam will get this version in Brazil. All is looking good and the cars are working well, so overnight we will start work on our race strategy and we look forward to seeing how the cars will perform in FP3.”
