Fernando Alonso (No. 14) \u2013 3rd and 3rd<\/b><\/p>\n
Being one of the four riders who have already experienced the Red Bull Ring track, the Spaniard is happy to return: \u00ab It’s good to be back here, the track has a lot of elevation changes, which always makes the driving enjoyable. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab During the two sessions, Kimi and I were on different programs and now, we need to put all the data together to choose which of the elements we tested work best, \u00bb he explains.<\/p>\n
However, nothing significant could be gleaned from the tires, whose performance was not optimized by the weather conditions: \u00ab In terms of tires, the super-softs seem faster, which will likely be the tires for qualifying, but for the race, it’s impossible to define now what the strategy will be. It was cloudy today and there were even a few drops of rain, but the following days should be sunny, and the tire behavior might change. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen (No. 7) \u2013 11th and 11th<\/b><\/p>\n
The Finn also had an active Friday: \u00ab Today was particularly studious, which is normal when you return to a circuit for the first time in a long time. \u00bb<\/p>\n
He explains in more detail the division of tasks between Alonso and himself: \u00ab Despite the changing conditions that reduced track time in the first session, we managed to complete our program, which was focused on analyzing new aerodynamic parts. With Fernando, we concentrated on different setup tests, me at the front and him at the rear, to compare data in the second session. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab In the afternoon, I had a better feeling with the car, but for various reasons, such as lack of grip, traffic, and wind, I was unable to achieve a good lap or improve the final sector, \u00bb he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
