Nicholas Latifi:
"The first day at Silverstone wasn’t very eventful, with no running
in Free Practice 1 because the conditions were not representative to
learning anything, with other teams in the same boat. It meant Free
Practice 2 was more important as it might be the only dry running we get
before qualifying. We completed our programme with very little issues.
It was extremely windy which I think is making it tricky for everybody.
We’ve got some good data and direction to go to overnight, so we’ll see
what we can do tomorrow." |

Alex Albon:
"We had a limited day with the wet Free Practice 1, so didn’t get
as much running as we’d like to with the new aero package. As Free
Practice 2 goes, we do need track time and despite having pretty much
none of it, we’ve got a car we can drive that is a step forward from the
previous car, so it’s positive. We have a bit of fine tuning and changes
to make but we have a good base so can start from there and see how we
go tomorrow." |

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance:
"It is a
bit frustrating that the weather prevented us from doing anything useful
in Free Practice 1 but at least it was dry for Free Practice 2, allowing
us to start the evaluation of the new parts. We have a lot to get
through tonight but there are some positive signs, despite the windy
conditions. Unfortunately, Alex suffered some kerb damage to the rear of
his car and whilst this was completely independent of the updates, it
did prevent him from getting his high fuel running done.
We still need to understand how to modify the setup to take advantage of
the new package and this will be our main job overnight. However, it
looks likely that the weather will dominate tomorrow’s running and so we
will also need to focus on preparation for wet qualifying." |
