Manor: Stevens and Mehri Dream of an Achievement
Still stuck at the bottom of the timesheets, Marussia drivers Will Stevens and Roberto Mehri will nevertheless attempt to have a convincing weekend, drawing inspiration from Jules Bianchi's achievement last year at this very place, which everyone remembers.
The Monaco circuit is often the dream location for achieving feats behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car. At least that’s what the Manor/Marussia drivers believe, relying on the Monaco lottery to deliver a great performance.
Despite everything, Will Stevens notices some progress on his mount: « It’s not a bad start to the weekend for us here in Monaco. The day started reasonably well, but this afternoon, the rain prevented everyone from making progress. There are still many things to improve regarding the car’s settings, but I think the day reminded everyone that a lot can happen here. It’s our turn to create opportunities, so we are going to be ready to take advantage of that. »
His Spanish teammate, less fortunate, managed to enliven a rather dull second session by hitting the barrier with his car, thereby causing a red flag, the first of the weekend. Very early in the afternoon, I lost the car under braking coming out of the tunnel. It was very slippery, he explained upon exiting his car.
