John Booth, Team Principal: “It has been an interesting first day of running at a new circuit. We’ve had a couple of glitches during the day, but perhaps not as many as might have been expected during our first outings at a track that is such an unknown quantity. Alex is happy with the balance of his car and consequently he had a good day. Will has had a more difficult day, having lost a lot of time in FP1. FP2 was better for him, but we still need to help him to find some grip.”
Alexander Rossi: “It was a good day for me. In FP1 I got to grips quite quickly with what is a new and exciting circuit. We had a small electrical problem this afternoon, but we got that fixed and I was able to get some really good laps in. I’m feeling pretty comfortable with the car, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.”
Will Stevens: “It’s been a bit of a frustrating day for me. I lost quite a bit of time in FP1 due to a sensor problem. Things were a little better this afternoon, although I’m still struggling for grip, so there’s a lot of work to do tonight to get on top of that in order for us to have a better day tomorrow.”
