The Enstone team had the opportunity to identify a number of areas where they will need to improve in order not to have to forget this Monaco event.<\/p>\n
H\u00fclkenberg: FP1 \u2192 19th, No time (3 laps) \/ FP2 \u2192 17th, 1:14.870 (41 laps)<\/p>\n

His Thursday was not at all restful. The former Force India driver stated that he experienced electronic issues with his car during the first practice session. Furthermore, he admits struggling to find grip and balance on the car in the afternoon. We still have three days to resolve these issues.<\/p>\n
The winner of the 2015 Le Mans 24 hours nevertheless congratulates himself on the progress he noted in the afternoon: \u00ab My mechanics did all the work that was necessary to do (in response to his electronic failure in the morning ed.) \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Palmer: FP1 \u2192 17th, 1:15.949 (42 laps) \/ FP2 \u2192 18th, 1:15.616 (8 laps)<\/p>\n

On the other side of the garage, the course of events is reversed.<\/p>\n
\u00ab It was a positive morning but a less positive afternoon \u00bb summarizes Jolyon Palmer, whose RS17 power unit went up in smoke during the second session.<\/p>\n
The Englishman remains optimistic for the future: “Obviously, we were unlucky this afternoon, but there is still a lot of potential to be exploited for the rest of the weekend.”<\/p>\n
Concerns and a hope shared by Nick Chester, the technical director: \u00ab We have a lot of work to do but we know where the improvements are \u00bb.<\/p>\n
