I think we can have a strong weekend if we put it all together. It’s a relatively short circuit and traffic was a bit problematic at times today, but it’s only Friday and hopefully we won’t have any issues in qualifying." |
Sam Michael
Technical Director WilliamsF1 "We
had a good day’s practice and got through some of our planned schedule
which included assessing some new parts. We also covered the usual
Friday items such as set-up, cooling and tyres. The car looks reasonable
and we need to continue the trend from the last few races. We ran some
new parts on both cars today and they are all working as expected and
will be carried forward. Additionally, Rubens is running a further step
on the diffuser."
