John Booth, Team Principal: “There isn’t much to report from the opening day of running here; mainly on the basis that we didn’t do very much! Alex’s much-vaunted home soil debut was much briefer than perhaps he and the crowds had hoped for and I’m sure he and Will are equally frustrated to have such a fruitless Friday. I would say we’re hoping for better conditions tomorrow, but judging by the forecast I think we’re in for more of the same. Hopefully, it will all come good on Sunday.”
Alexander Rossi: “After all the promotional activity this past week, I was looking forward to finally getting stuck into on the racing side of things. But the weather definitely had other ideas and instead it’s been a little frustrating standing on the sidelines with little opportunity for running. It doesn’t look like it will get any better tomorrow either! 11 laps wasn’t quite what I was hoping for today, but we’re all in the same boat. Literally!”
Will Stevens: “It’s always frustrating to have to spend practically a whole day of running confined to the garage, particularly when this is a new circuit for me and I really want to get stuck into the programme. Fingers crossed we’ll have a few dry moments tomorrow.”
