On Friday, Carlos Sainz completed the program without any problems and Charles Leclerc had problems …
Charles Leclerc (7th): “I can’t say this is the best Friday – we didn’t go the planned distance. In the first session the flat tire started right after leaving the pit lane, so I had to go back to the pits to change tires and do a few laps on Soft.
In the second session we simulated qualifying first and then simulated the race, but I flew out – and that was the end of my session.
I do not expect any consequences from this incident. I’m sure the day will go better on Saturday, because on Friday the feeling from the car was good.
Carlos Sainz (8th): “Overall a positive start to the weekend. We have completed the scheduled program, tried different options for settings.
Mexico City has a difficult track, where there is always a lack of downforce due to the high altitude, but it is interesting to drive it in its own way.
I want to thank the Mexican fans for their emotional support – it’s great motivational. I’ll try to please them on the weekend.”
