“A good day – we did 137 laps, completing almost everything we wanted to do. I got a good feeling for the car, and it’s not too different to last year in terms of handling, which is a good thing.
"We got through our programme with a lot learned for both me and the team, making a good start ahead of tomorrow and next week. There are areas we know we need to improve on, but it’s been a productive day overall, which is the main thing.”
“Another productive day today with Lando covering 137 laps. The morning was taken up with some specific aero measurements, which will give us the first proper overview of the cars aero flow conditions. We then moved on to a set programme of test items, some of them with new parts. Long runs in the afternoon combined with some mechanical setup work and reliability tests. We also completed some general set-up work that has helped us further understand the car, in addition to what we learned yesterday with Carlos.
“Tomorrow we will continue the programme with both drivers, running some more new components and taking the direction we’ve learned over the last two days.”
