The weekend through OP’s visor

Sprint Quali…

“P3 for the Sprint tomorrow. It wasn’t my best lap in SQ3 as it was a little scrappy in places, but I’m relatively happy with the position, and we have really good pace in the car. I know where I need to tidy it up for Qualifying tomorrow, so we’ll aim to have a good Sprint in the morning and then fine-tune for the afternoon.”

Sprint & GP Quali…

“A tricky day for us today. Obviously not the result we wanted in the Sprint. It’s shame to have not been able to finish. Massive thanks to the team for the big effort to get our cars back together. “Quali was a tougher one compared to Sprint Quali. I just didn’t really feel particularly comfortable in the car, so wasn’t able to put it all together. But it’s a long race tomorrow, and anything can happen, so we’ll make up some places and do what we can.”

The race…

“A bit of a tricky race. Similar to yesterday, I was struggling for pace. We gained one spot, which was positive, but it was hard to make any progress from there. Not the weekend we were looking for, but we’ll review and bounce back next weekend.”
