Ocon: The competition is especially tough this weekend.

      On Friday, the Haas F1 cars found themselves at the bottom of the timesheet in the second practice, but on Saturday the team hopes to achieve more...

      Esteban Ocon (15th): "Today was just practice; we'll see what happens tomorrow. Usually, we're faster in the race than in qualifying. So far, everything is moving in the right direction; step by step we're improving the car, and in the second practice we made progress compared to the first one.

      Tomorrow we need to take the next step, as the competition is very tough, and here it will be even tougher since the track only has 10 corners."

      Oliver Bearman (18th): "It was a tough day; we were trying to find more speed. On a track with such a short lap, the times are very close, and there's still work to do for both the team and myself this evening.

      Still, there’s no major reason for concern; lately, we've usually shown better results on Saturday than on Friday, and we made progress in the second practice compared to the first. I hope this trend continues."
