Nicholas Latifi:
"It was an average day and there are some things we have to work on. We
don’t have a true
reference to the Haas from their missed running in FP1, so they were
always going to be on the back foot. We definitely seem to be struggling
a bit more to the Alfa, we knew it was going to be a weaker track for us
because of the efficiency of the circuit that is all dependent on
straight line speed. There are some things to work on but it wasn’t a
bad day overall. It would be nice to have some mixed conditions in
either qualifying or the race to create a bit of a challenge. I see that
as a positive for us and something that we will try to capitalise on.
However, even if its dry we will be able to make some gains tomorrow." |

George Russell:
"It is always great to drive around Spa. We tried some different set-ups
to try and get a bit more straight-line speed. Some were more beneficial
than others, but I think we have a good understanding to gather the data
and make the most of it tomorrow. It is going to be a tricky Saturday,
Q2 is still the target and beating the Haas and the Alfa. We would like
to see some rain to mix things up which would give us a chance to get a
good result if we can maximise it. Nevertheless, we have got to make the
most of whatever the conditions throw at us, and I will be ready to do
that." |

Dave Robson, Senior Race Engineer:
"Both drivers had solid days as we looked at some downforce
configurations and general set-up. We had no issues with the cars, and
we are now in a good position to push things along tomorrow. Although
today was dry for the F1 sessions, the forecast for tomorrow and Sunday
remains mixed and we will need to be alive to any rain during qualifying
and the race. The cars are running well, and the drivers are enjoying
each lap of this great circuit. We need to find a bit more pace if we
are to compete with Haas and Alfa Romeo tomorrow, but we have a good
baseline on which to build that performance." |
