Marcus Ericsson (No. 9) \u2013 22nd and 19th<\/b><\/p>\n
For the Swede, the morning session was disrupted by difficulties with the CT05: \u00ab We didn’t get the best start, as this morning I had problems with the brakes and some other technical issues, which we didn’t need. Despite everything, we managed to complete a few laps and gather useful information for the weekend. \u00bb<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, however, things were better, especially in terms of braking: \u00ab FP2 was better for us. We solved the morning’s brake problems, so it was an improvement, even if we have to resolve the other issues for tomorrow, but it was a productive day. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Andr\u00e9 Lotterer (#45) \u2013 21st and 20th<\/b><\/p>\n
The 32-year-old beginner believes that his first day went well and that he quickly found his footing in the morning: \u00ab I am very happy with the day. This morning the first testing session was good; I got used to the car quickly and now I need to optimize everything in terms of driving. Considering it was my first time with the car, everything went according to plan and I got a good insight into what driving the car is like. Now, we need to keep working like this and improve the car. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Learning the behavior of the single-seater with soft tires was a new step for the three-time Le Mans 24 Hour winner: \u00ab FP2 was another good session and everything went very smoothly, even though we had to stop a little earlier due to a technical issue. It was indeed a different learning process with the soft tires \u2013 I went out not knowing what to expect, but I think it went very well. We were able to follow the program, making progress while learning and playing a bit with the car. We did a few long stints, and I’m really starting to feel comfortable with everything, even though I’m still in the learning phase. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
