JAPANESE GRAND PRIX 2016
Suzuka Circuit
Friday, October 7th 2016
MAX VERSTAPPEN
First Practice Session: 1:34.379, Position: 6, Laps: 26
Second Practice Session: 1:33.061, Position: 4, Laps: 29
“I think this has been one of the strongest Fridays so far. Everything seemed to work quite well, car set-up was good and we looked quick on both tyres today, even on the Hard.
We were hampered by the Virtual Safety Car on our short runs so the tyres lost a bit of temperature, this meant we didn’t show our full potential.
After Malaysia we are looking for another good result, this track should suit us and we are close to the top guys at the moment. Ferrari are in the mix, short runs look ok but I’m not sure how their long ones are going, I’m hoping we can handle them though.
There are talks of rain for later in the weekend which for us I think will play into our hands, we can’t be sure but if it comes I think we can be even stronger in qualifying and the race.”
DANIEL RICCIARDO
First Practice Session: 1:32.112, Position: 5, Laps: 23
Second Practice Session: 1:34.150, Position: 12, Laps: 29
“It’s good to be back at this circuit, I really like this place. We had a pretty good day today and a positive afternoon. We made some improvements from this morning and the lap we had to abort because of the Virtual Safety Car looked to be in the 32s which was close to Kimi’s time.
Our long run pace towards the end of FP2 on the hard tyre looked pretty solid as well. If we can hook the car up for quali, we can be close to Mercedes and probably be ahead of the Ferraris, we can definitely squeeze a bit more out of the car tomorrow.
There have been improvements from our side and the Ferraris so we expect the rest of the season to be tighter.
If it rains for quali, it won’t hurt us and we might even be able to get on the front row. I’m ready either way, this place is fun in both wet and dry conditions.”
