Alan Permain: It's not worth dramatizing the situation.

      The Racing Bulls team started the weekend in Monaco not in the best way, but team leader Alan Permane is confident that the situation can still be corrected. Arvid Lindblad, who showed the 14th time in practice, also noted that the team understands how to act.

      Alan Permane, team leader: "The first day of the weekend in Monaco was challenging; we definitely need to improve, but I am confident that we will work tonight and be able to achieve improvements.

      Overall, the drivers are satisfied with the car's behavior, but they find it difficult to warm up the tires to the necessary temperature range, and because of this, we are unable to achieve optimal balance. Additionally, we have issues with steering, but we will sort them out by Saturday.

      Because of all this, we find ourselves in a less favorable position, but there is no need to dramatize the situation. We will try to conduct the third practice as well as possible to prepare for qualifying, and I am quite confident that we can find speed reserves to contend for a spot in the final session."

      Arvid Lindblad (14th): "This is my first time driving a car on the Monaco track, and it's a very special moment. The day went more or less normally, but there was a lot of work. Probably, it was one of the most intense Fridays in my Formula 1 career, which is related to the characteristics of this street circuit, where there are few straight sections, and you are constantly working at the wheel, spending very little time in the garage.

      But driving here is interesting and fun. Tonight we will work on the car's settings related to different areas, but we understand what needs to be done. The team is moving in the right direction, so I hope that in the process of preparing for tomorrow, we can put everything together."
