Manor's Pascal Wehrlein wrapped up his first day as an official F1 driver with 54 laps under his belt, and a load of positive commentary about his team's new MRT05 to go with it.
The German was late to join the track on Monday morning but productive work in the afternoon put Wehrlein ninth on the timesheets, ahead of Haas' Grosjean and Renault's Palmer.
"It was a good first day in the car and I really enjoyed it," said Wehrlein.
"In the morning we completed just five laps while we worked with Mercedes HPP to make sure everything was as it should be. In the afternoon we started to get into the program and I added another 49 laps, so 54 laps in total.
"It’s a really promising package so I can’t wait to drive again [this] morning. Thanks to the team for making me so welcome. Manor Racing is already feeling a lot like home."
