Isaac Hajjar: I was looking for the limits of what is acceptable

      Liam Lawson clocked fifth in the second practice session of the Monaco Grand Prix. The Racing Bulls driver is happy with the car, but at the same time expects to add more in Saturday's qualifying.

      Isaac Hajjar confirmed the speed of the car, showing the sixth time, but during the training he hit the protective barrier twice. If only the wheel and tire were damaged after the first contact, then the rear suspension was broken after the second contact, and the training session was over for the French rider.

      Liam Lawson (5th): "A positive day, that's for sure! Monaco is different from most tracks in that you gain confidence here throughout the weekend, and compared to the morning session, we have already taken a step forward.

      But, of course, this work will continue tomorrow, we must move in this direction, and today we have made a lot of changes to the settings, mainly with the expectation of qualification, and then we will see.

      I've raced on this track in F2, and although the Formula 1 car is much faster, it's still more docile and efficient, so I really enjoy driving.

      Saturday in Monaco is the most important day of the weekend, and it's clear that during the third practice session we need to take another step forward and try to prepare as well as possible for qualifying."

      Isaac Hajjar (6th): "It's been a very busy day. Training sessions in Monaco are more intense than on any other track due to the traffic. I liked it, but on the other hand it was really hard. It was a difficult day – I hit the wall several times when I was looking for the limits of what was acceptable.

      In the second training session, I even got scared the moment I realized that the session was over for me. I was able to get to the pits, although the car resisted, but I did it. It's good that I managed to do a few laps on soft tires before that.

      I apologize to the mechanics for adding to their work, but they did a great job."
