Piastri: The rivalry promises to be very intense.

      Judging by the results of Friday's training sessions in Barcelona, the new FIA requirements for wing stiffness have not yet affected the balance of power, and Oscar Piastri has the best time of the day. Lando Norris, his McLaren team-mate, scored 4th.

      Oscar Piastri (1st): "I think the day was a bit unstable, but its ending was quite good. At the same time, it seems that the rivals are capable of high speeds, Max Verstappen is fast all day, one of the Ferrari cars is also somewhere nearby, and in the end, Mercedes was added.

      In general, the competition in tomorrow's qualifying promises to be very intense. Of course, we will try to achieve improvements in a number of aspects in which we are still underworking. Of course, we expected Red Bull to have a fast car, and that's not surprising, so our goal is to increase the speed of the MCL39. In general, we continue to study, so overall everything is fine."

      Lando Norris (4th): "We can say that Friday was fine. We were doing well in the first training session, and slightly worse in the second, but we continue to experiment and will try to make improvements by tomorrow.

      I want to say that we are only talking about working on the nuances, because we are very good at preparing the basic settings of the car, and in such cases it is quite difficult to achieve further improvements in speed and efficiency.

      But it's even good, because it allows you to try different approaches and try to achieve an even more comfortable driving experience."
