Hulkenberg: The program for the second session had to be shortened

The first day of the Australian weekend was not easy for Kevin Magnussen, he was constantly hampered by some problems, but judging by his partner’s results, the Haas F1 car is capable of a good pace.

Kevin Magnussen (19th): “Sometimes during training it happens that you don’t manage to complete a lap on new tires when you have to. Because the GPS system was off, I just ended up in traffic.

During the second practice session, when we went out on track, it started to rain, but the results on Friday don’t worry me too much, because the car made a good impression, I’m not complaining.

Given all the events that have taken place today, I don’t think we have any idea of ​​the joining forces. I’m only talking about my own feelings, which are quite positive, so I’ll prepare for Saturday and see what we can achieve.

Nico Hulkenberg (9th): “Sometimes they say about Melbourne that you can see all four seasons in one day here. Today was such a case and the second training program had to be shortened due to the rain.

But the steering feel isn’t bad, the balance is generally good, and now, in preparation for tomorrow, we have the usual work of optimizing the settings. Based on the results of training, it is difficult to judge what awaits us on Saturday, but I am ready for any development of events and, as always, I intend to give everything to the end.

Gunter Steiner, Team boss: “The first practice went well, although there was some confusion when the GPS failed. Kevin was at the very bottom of the protocol because he couldn’t do a normal lap. Norris was on the track at the time, but he didn’t know we were going there, and we didn’t know he was out there anywhere.

However, we made good progress during the first session. In the second training session, the difficulties increased due to rain. In addition, Kevin’s car had problems with the telemetry system, leading to a loss of time and not having time to complete a lap when the track was still dry.

We’ve thought a lot of things out today, so now we have to work productively in the third practice session, after which we’ll be ready for qualifying.
