Pierre Gasly - 3rd, 1:31.429
“I’m really happy about today. We got more than 100 laps, which was really good. A lot of mileage on the medium tyres, a lot of long runs in which I could really get attuned to the car. We tested many things for the team, which was the most important thing and I tried to give really good feedback and to get the best out of all those laps, because it’s not every day you get the chance to drive a Formula One car, especially with Red Bull. We put on a set of softs on at the end and we managed to do a pretty good lap, so all in all it was a really, really good day.”
Guillaume Rocquelin, Head of Race Engineering
“After missing a lot of track time yesterday we had a really productive day today. It rained after lunch, which lost us about an hour, as the track was never really right for intermediates, just a bit greasy, but otherwise it was a good outing. We ran for pretty much the whole day on medium tyres as there’s no real point in changing tyres when you’re working through a test programme. However, in the last few laps we put on softs and gave Pierre a chance to show what he can do. You always like to see how the young guys do against the race drivers and he did very well. We were a little bit behind the eight ball yesterday having lost the morning, but we got it all back today, so all in all a successful test.”
