What are your feelings from today?
The pace from the car was okay; it certainly wasn’t a bad Friday for
us. I think we can go faster over a single lap but I made a mistake on
my first lap with the fresh soft tyres. Overall not too bad at all.
As always this season there has been a lot of talk about the tyres; how are the two compounds feeling here?
Both feel good. Of course, it’s so hot here that it’s easy to get
the tyres to work and we seem to be able to keep them working quite
well too. Our aim today was mainly to try to see how the car is with
both the short and longer runs and we achieved this. We’re still
looking over the data but it’s looking good so far.
Is the team approaching the weekend any differently after the result in Bahrain?
We’ve been doing the same thing at every race, we just need to have
the whole race weekend go as well as it did in Bahrain and we’ll be
happy. Nothing has changed in our approach to the weekend, we’re just
going to do the same things as before and see if we can achieve another
good result.
How important is tomorrow’s qualifying session?
Of course it helps if you’re on the front row here, but it’s not as
important as it used to be. The rules are different and the tyres are
different so it’s easier to overtake; even here in Barcelona. It’s
certainly not going to destroy your race if you don’t start on the
front row.
Can you and the team repeat the Bahrain level of performance this weekend?
It’s difficult to say if we can repeat our Bahrain performance. We
were quick here in testing, but you can’t really compare that; all
teams have progressed quite a lot since then. For sure, our car is
better than in testing, but so are other teams’ cars too. Today went
very smoothly for us – better than some other Grand Prix Fridays so far
this season – so hopefully we’re in a good position. In Bahrain we
didn’t have it so easy on Friday, but everything came together for the
race. We’ll see tomorrow where we are with qualifying and then on
Sunday where we are in the race.
