Remy Gardner – P13 (1’49.483)
“It was a demanding day, but there’s room to improve. FP1 was tricky, but we made steady progress in the afternoon, concentrating on race pace and race tyres. We’re still not as close to the front as we’d like, but I’m confident we can take another step forward tomorrow.”
Dominique Aegerter – P14 (1’49.574)
“It was a busy Friday, but we can stay positive for the weekend. We struggled a bit in the morning but improved in the afternoon. We’re still some way off where we want to be, yet I’m confident we can work hard overnight, qualify well tomorrow, and head into Race 1 in a strong position.”
