McLaren are pleased with the progress made
Light rain at the start of the second practice and red flags at the end prevented the teams from assessing tyre behaviour, but McLaren are happy that they were able to make progress…
Lando Norris (1st): “Because of the red flags we weren’t able to gather all the necessary information, but in the second practice the car behaved much better than in the first. We’ve made good progress and are generally happy.
There are some positive areas to build on, and some areas where we need to try to improve for tomorrow.”
Oscar Piastri (14th): “Because of the red flags in the second practice it’s hard to judge the pecking order, but the car has speed, so we’ll see.
The first session went well, but due to the red flags in the second I couldn’t do a quick lap on the Soft tyres. We’ll make some adjustments overnight. We’ll see what the weather is like tomorrow.”
