On Friday, the Alfa Romeo drivers were at the bottom of the top ten, which is completely in line with the team’s expectations…
Valttery Bottas (12th): “Good day. In the second session we fine-tuned the settings and I felt confident in the car. She behaved as expected, there were no surprises, now we will focus on fine-tuning for tomorrow’s qualifying.
We showed a stable time on a long set of circles, well prepared for the race. As expected, the results in the middle group of teams are very tight, losing or adding a little, you can seriously change your position in the protocol. Getting into the top ten with two cars tomorrow won’t be easy, but that’s the goal. It’s hard to make predictions now, but tomorrow should be interesting.”
Guanyu Zhou (10th): “Overall, the day went smoothly. We went through the whole program, the car is fine, I immediately felt comfortable. As predicted, the battle in the middle group is very tight, so at night we have to analyze everything to make progress tomorrow – every tenth counts.
We have a good pace, there are still a few small details that need to be worked out to prepare well for the race.
