Isaac Hadjar: We're a couple of tenths short.
Racing Bulls are pleased with Friday's results but regret the lack of pace...
Liam Lawson (11th): "The Mexican circuit is very tricky to drive — high altitude, slippery asphalt, low grip, but our car looked pretty good. The third practice is very important; the track surface should improve before qualifying, so our goal is to find the optimal setup by then."
Isack Hadjar (14th): "I think we made the right call by saving a few new sets of Soft for tomorrow. I hope that will play an important role. We don't have enough downforce; the midfield battle is very tight, and on the flying laps we are a couple of tenths off the nearest rivals. Tonight we'll think about how best to prepare for tomorrow."
Ayumu Iwasa (17th in the first session): "I did a lot of laps, which was important for me and the team. As usual, this track is difficult with traffic, and on top of that I was working with this year's car for the first time, but the team helped me a lot. I'm glad to feel the difference between the car and the simulator — it will help me in my work. I hope I'll have another chance to get back behind the wheel and show a better result."
