| "The stage was okay. The car works a bit better in the cleaner conditions, but in one corner we had no [engine] response, I thought the turbo pipe had come off. It only happened once but we have a problem and will investigate." | ||||||

| "It was okay, a bit more confidence. Working in the right way now. Maybe not the best tyre management this afternoon. I have one badly worn on the front. Maybe six tyres would have been a better idea." | ||||||
