Hülkenberg: The main thing on Friday is to bring everything together.

      On Friday, Audi had to slightly shorten the program due to issues with the power unit on Gabriel Bortoleto's car, but overall the team is satisfied with the day's results.

      Nico Hülkenberg (13th): "Overall, it was a typical Friday. The first practice went positively, we completed the program without issues, but in the second session we lost some rhythm and pace compared to the start of the day. We need to understand why this happened and how to achieve more on Saturday.

      The main goal on Friday is to piece together all the details for the continuation of the weekend. In the evening, we will analyze all the data and try to draw the right conclusions."

      Gabriel Bortoleto (15th): "A good first day. We completed the entire planned program, especially in the first practice, and overall I am satisfied with the work done.

      We weren't able to complete many laps on Soft, but we learned a lot about the car and know how to proceed tomorrow. We need to improve on the fast lap and make the most of the slipstream in qualifying."
