Lance Stroll: The result meets expectations
On Friday at Spa, three drivers worked with Aston Martin. Lance Stroll completed both practice sessions, while Jack Crawford replaced Fernando Alonso in the first one. In both sessions, the Aston Martin drivers were over five seconds behind the leaders, and in the traditional press release summarizing the day, the team's press service decided not to give the floor to Fernando Alonso.
Lance Stroll (21st): "Right now, all our attention is focused on preparing for Saturday's sessions and the race, and we will continue to work on improving the car. We know what positions we are in, so it’s important to do everything possible and overcome the difficulties we faced this weekend.
Friday's practices went as expected, but I hope we can make a step forward in Hungary."
Jack Crawford (22nd in the first session): "It was great to get out of the pits today and complete my first laps in Spa behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car. It's a completely different track compared to those I worked on in previous practices.
We know that we are not as competitive as we would like at the moment, but we completed the planned program and gathered useful information. Such sessions are important for both my professional growth and for the team."
