30 minutes before the start: Oliver Berman's comment

      The Australian weekend is going badly for Oliver Berman, but the newbie of Haas F1 does not lose his optimism…

      Oliver Berman: "The weather is not good, that's for sure, but we feel an incredible support from the audience – it's great to see how many fans there are in the stands of Albert Park!

      It's been a difficult weekend for me, so right now the main task is just to drive around and around to collect as much information as possible. Things are not going as well as we expected, there are a lot more difficulties than there were in the pre-season tests in Bahrain, but I hope that the track will start to dry up a little bit and we will still be able to have a good race.

      I haven't driven this particular car in the rain yet, but last year I took part in a race in Brazil, which was held in approximately the same conditions, so I foresee that it will be interesting!"
