In Singapore, the Haas team achieved one point for the first time since the Austrian Grand Prix thanks to Nico Hulkenberg’s tenth place. On Thursday in Suzuka, the German driver made it clear that it would be difficult for the team to repeat this result this weekend.
Nico Hulkenberg: “The secret of a good lap in Suzuka is to be fast, and for that you have to collect all sectors. Good machine balance is required to effectively navigate rapid changes in direction. A lot depends on how much grip the car has and how well the balance is set.
It’s going to be quite difficult for us this weekend. The final stage in Singapore turned out to be one of the best for the team in recent times. Suzuki’s characteristics are very different from Singapore’s, which will be a problem for us.
The fact that Japan will have stiffer tire compounds is neither good nor bad for us. Everyone is on equal terms and it is quite normal that hard compounds have been brought to this track, as in Suzuka the tires are heavily loaded, leading to serious degradation. Serious problems would arise here with soft tires. Suzuka needs hard tires.”
