Two busy sessions with no interruptions, technical issues or changing weather meant the team was able to concentrate on the job at hand. Both drivers reported being happy with the car, although obviously plenty of work is still ahead of us to maximise our package ahead of qualifying and the race. The team has a busy evening of data crunching ahead. It is methodical work. It takes time. We’ll leave the Russian for qualifying.
