Marcus Ericsson: “It’s been a productive day. As I did not do FP1, it took me some time to find a good rhythm on this technical track, but towards the end of the session I felt quite comfortable in the car. We still have to work on the set-up side in order to find a more satisfying balance for the car.”
Felipe Nasr: “As expected, Silverstone is a challenging circuit for us due to its high-speed corners. From the programme side everything went well. In the morning we tested different car set-ups to find a suitable one for this high speed track, while in FP2 we also did high-fuel runs. We seem to struggle a bit on the medium tyres. Now we have to analyse the collected data to understand in which areas we can improve.”
Raffaele Marciello: “It was my first time driving a Formula One car here in Silverstone. It was a bit difficult as I had a lot of oversteer, mainly at the entry to the corners. This was limiting me a bit in carrying over the speed. Overall, it was important that we completed our programme. We tested different set-ups on the car and ran aero measurements.”
