Nicholas Latifi:
"Today was a fairly tricky day of running, but we made some good
improvements from one session to the next which is important. I still
feel that we have some things that we can analyse tonight to try and get
the car in a better window, and I’ll be looking at the changes I can
make to my driving style to find some more lap time. Whilst tomorrow’s
weather conditions might mean that a lot of today’s running may not be
so relevant, everyone will be in the same position and what we’ve learnt
today becomes especially valuable if it’s drier on Sunday." |

George Russell:
"It was an interesting day today. The car was feeling good, but the
pace wasn’t quite as good as the car was feeling. We will go away and
analyse why that was overnight. That positive feeling definitely helped
us on the high-fuel pace though, and hopefully that will benefit us if
it is dry on Sunday. Tomorrow looks like it could be a washout, but
fingers crossed that we get some running in at some point. Our
performance at Spa definitely gives us added confidence if it is a wet
qualifying, but it is a very different style of track and different
conditions here in Sochi so we will need to put in the hard work to
achieve a good result. If it is going to be dry on Sunday, it will be
interesting as the circuit will be very green after the rain and that
will make it tricky, so it is not going to be a straightforward
weekend." |

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance:
"We have had a useful and productive day. Nicholas had some issues with
his brakes this morning, but this was fixed for FP2. The car is working
well here and although there is definitely some scope for improvement,
we are happy with our start to the weekend.
Given the weather forecast for tomorrow, it is unclear quite how the
weekend will play out. However, we are happy with the work that we have
done so far, and we are ready to face any eventuality. Both drivers are
comfortable with their cars and so even if we don’t get much done in FP3
due to the rain, we are happy to go straight into both qualifying and
the race." |
