Both Aston Martin drivers finished in the top 10 in Friday’s second practice session and are happy with the day’s results…
Fernando Alonso (5e): “A perfectly normal Friday. Compared to the stage in Baku, we spent more time on the track, we were able to collect information about tire work during long runs despite the red flags.
Now it seems to me that the new asphalt is better than last year, but so far we have only cleaned the track. It is necessary to move a little off the track, as the car starts to slide, which can make overtaking difficult.
It’s important to have a good qualifying tomorrow, but usually we’re more competitive on Sunday. Let’s see how it goes this time.”
Lance walk (8th): “We made the most of both training sessions and evaluated the impact of track changes on our work. We know it’s incredibly hot here which will affect tire wear – this factor is important to keep under control over the weekend, but overall the car looked good. After the first practice we made some adjustments, which worked, so I’m looking forward to Saturday with optimism.
