"Lawson: Our car is fast at Silverstone."
Racing Bulls assess Friday’s results at Silverstone positively...
Isaac Hadjar (9th): "A good start to the weekend. We were fast in both practice sessions, made some adjustments between them – and they worked. It seems we got the most out of the car. On hot asphalt, the C3 and C4 compounds performed similarly, but the forecast for tomorrow promises cooler weather, where softer tires will be the better choice. During long runs, Liam and I split the program – he worked on Medium, and I on Soft, which allowed us to evaluate the difference. Wind affects the results like a lottery, but overall we looked pretty good. Conditions are the same for everyone, and we adapted quickly."
Liam Lawson (10th): "A good start. Like last week, my teammate's and my results were very close. Between sessions, we adjusted the settings to gain more speed. Strong wind affects the balance, but our car is fast at Silverstone. This is my first time racing here in Formula 1 and I must say I like it! Hopefully, on Saturday, we will fight for a place in the qualifying final."
Alan Permane, race director: "A positive start to the weekend. In the first and second practice sessions, the drivers were pleased with the cars, especially in high-speed corners. On slow sections, we need to improve on short and long runs, but we will work on the simulator to find a solution."
