Haas F1 is pleased with the new features, but not with the speed.
Haas F1 tested new parts on Friday and were satisfied, but they are currently cautious about predictions…
Esteban Ocon (14th): "An interesting day. We significantly changed the car, installed some new components – we needed to evaluate their performance and optimize everything.
Due to strong wind, it's hard to draw conclusions – everything might be different tomorrow. It's clear that we need to achieve higher speed from the car. We'll see how it turns out in the end."
Oliver Berman (19th): "In the morning, Esteban tested the new aerodynamic package, and in the afternoon, it was installed on my car as well. We haven't been able to reach the maximum yet – insufficient turnability was a hindrance, but overall everything is fine; only some adjustments are needed to balance the car.
Rain could change the situation, which often happens this weekend, but usually on Saturday we are always faster than on Friday, which gives hope. Despite all the difficulties, I enjoyed Friday – I love racing on this track, and the support from the fans adds to the excitement."
