Oliver Berman (12th): “Overall, the day went quite well. The first session was challenging; we faced the same issues as with the first update – the car was unstable on corner entry, making it difficult to set it up. But in the second practice, we managed to improve the balance a bit and make the car more drivable. We took a step in the right direction. It’s clear there’s still work to be done, but I’m happy with the progress made.”
Esteban Ocon (17th): “I think I could have been higher in the Friday standings, but it’s much more important to be higher on Saturday.
Good day. It’s nice to be back in Barcelona and see serious progress compared to the winter tests. Now it all depends on us – we need to find better settings – and tomorrow we’ll see what we’re capable of.”
