Isaac Hajjar (6th): "During the day on hot asphalt, we were unable to gather reliable information about the car and tires, but in the second session the situation improved, we improved and were able to show a good lap time.
Overall, I'm comfortable in the car, but there's a lot to do tomorrow to confirm this result. I am optimistic. There are very solid results in the middle group of teams, and tomorrow's qualifying will depend on the little things."
Liam Lawson (12th): "The second practice session turned out to be difficult, but overall the car is competitive, it remains to clarify the settings. The third training session will take place in the afternoon and will not help us in qualifying, but in this session we will do our best.
I made a pretty big mistake in the second session, which threw me down, tomorrow it's important to do a fast lap clean and fast. The difference in the results of the teams in the middle group is minimal, any little thing can set you back."
