We will work hard overnight and hopefully we can be in the fight for the front. We hope we can be competitive with our race pace this weekend, but still need to understand better where we are compared to the other teams. Tyre management for qualifying tomorrow will be tough, in FP1 you could do a slow run to get the tyres working and in FP2 it took much longer to get them in the right window, so it’s a little bit like rolling a dice. In FP2, the car balance was a bit off, following some set-up changes between the sessions, so we will need to make some updates overnight but otherwise, we’re relatively competitive. Lewis HamiltonįP1 felt good today, which is a positive outlook for next year. We will keep our heads down and put in the work overnight. I’d like to think we’ll be able to fight for the top 3 in qualifying tomorrow and see where that can take us on Sunday. ![]() So, we have some work to do overnight, but compared to Ferrari our performance from what we can tell so far looks reasonable for this weekend. The car felt fast, but I think Red Bull are ahead of us in terms of single lap pace and maybe even more so in the long runs. ![]() For FP2, the track changed completely with the temperature drop. With the test items that we ran during FP1, especially on my side of the garage, I’m looking forward to 2023 with what we’ve learned today. We had a very strong day in terms of what we’ve learned, given this is one of the last opportunities to gain learnings for the next season.
