Service : "I'm feeling much more comfortable and confident than I was yesterday. I can drive the car how I like to.

There's more to come." | ||||||
"My confidence with the car is much better than yesterday. Over-driving a little bit maybe. We're trying to make the most of our road position. This afternoon I'll have to push harder to to get the times." | ||||||
