Sebastian Vettel (No. 1) \u2013 7th and 4th<\/b><\/p>\n
The day was rather interesting for the Austrian team, which did not encounter any problems. The four-time world champion even had the luxury of being the most diligent during the second free practice session: \u00ab In a way, it’s a relief, the fact that we’re driving, we didn’t have the slightest problem, the balance was good, and the performance seemed correct. \u00bb<\/p>\n
He reminds that, in terms of performance, one should not focus too much on Friday’s times: \u00ab In the end, Friday’s times are not very representative, but it’s better to be close to the best than somewhere at the back, so I’m happy. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab We will do what we can to prepare for tomorrow and Sunday, but then we will see where we are at; the most important thing is that we finish, \u00bb he concluded.<\/p>\n
Daniel Ricciardo (No. 3) \u2013 5th and 6th<\/b><\/p>\n
The Australian is, above all, impressed by the quality of his team’s work in resolving a large part of the issues encountered in Jerez and Bahrain: \u00ab I knew the guys were doing everything they could since the tests, but still, we didn’t expect to do so many laps today, so I’m really happy and thrilled for them. \u00bb<\/p>\n
In addition to having done a lot of laps, the Red Bulls have been performing well, and Ricciardo wants to focus on that, while waiting for the qualification to really gauge their position: \u00ab I think we need to be very positive with our position today. We expected Mercedes to be the fastest, but we were less than a second behind, so it’s much better than we thought. Let’s see if it’s the same story after the qualification tomorrow, but for today, we are happy. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
