The Venezuelan believes that the day has gotten better and better for Lotus: \u00ab We worked methodically today, and with the track improving, we found a bit more rhythm throughout the day. \u00bb<\/p>\n
But this progress was hindered by issues with the Renault V6 hybrid block: \u00ab Unfortunately, we encountered a problem with the power unit this afternoon, which did not allow us to fully execute our program as we had planned. We must investigate and resolve each of the problems encountered today; analyze all the data to be ready for Saturday. \u00bb<\/p>\n
