Max Verstappen led the first training, but did not take to the track in the second training due to bad weather…
Max Verstappen (1st in the first session): “The day started well, there was almost no swing, I felt comfortable. There are a few things to watch out for, but overall everything is fine. In the second session we were unable to work; we couldn’t estimate the pace over the long distance, but the weather had no influence on that.
Compared to last year, the results have become even stronger. Normally our car performs well in Suzuka, I hope it will be the same this time.”
Sergio Perez (2nd in the first session): “Unfortunately, Friday was not very eventful, but we did everything we could. In the second training we expected progress, but the rain prevented us from collecting information. However, we have a good basis, tomorrow we will make some adjustments and we have to be competitive.
The program will be intensive on Saturday morning, we will drive several series with a lot of fuel and then we will prepare for qualifying. We are confident in our capabilities this weekend, the car is performing well.”
