Timo Glock – 22nd:<\/b><\/p>\n
Overall, a better day than yesterday because we were able to complete our program, but we didn’t achieve the best result in qualifying which is disappointing. I had some overheating issues in my first stint and the tires didn’t really work in the second.<\/p>\n
I think the changes we made between FP3 and qualifying were not for the better. I believe we were a little too conservative, but who knows? It might help us in the race. We’ll look at the data and see what it tells us, then we’ll work on a good strategy for tomorrow and try to see the checkered flag.<\/p>\n
J\u00e9r\u00f4me d’Ambrosio \u2013 21st:<\/b><\/p>\n
I am very happy. What I take away from today is that I continue to improve and also that I still have a lot to learn, I am headed in the right direction. That is the most important thing for me.<\/p>\n
It’s still early and I have a lot to do, but the way I work and therefore the whole team works is good and the results show that the path we are on is the right one. It was a good Saturday.<\/p>\n
John Booth – team principal<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00abWe have recovered well from a difficult start to the weekend and are closer to where we hoped to be. Timo struggled with the tires, and there is more to come. We hope the setup will be good in the race tomorrow.<\/p>\n
J\u00e9r\u00f4me did an exceptional job and everything is going well for him. After a difficult practice session this morning, he put everything together when it counted, and he is improving with every race.<\/p>\n
\u00abGenerally speaking, there is a positive outlook for the race where we hope to make the most of our good reliability by bringing both cars to the finish line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
