Mikhail Grachev: “I am quite happy with the behaviour of the car, we have a good balance, and I also feel more and more confident at every event. In FP2, with new tyres, I could be ahead of everybody, let’s hope qualifying will also go well.”

Gianni Morbidelli: “Things start to look much better. We have completely changed the set-up of the car, and I think now we are heading in the right direction. It was extremely hot out there but this is what we are going to face for the rest of the weekend.”

Pepe Oriola: “We are extremely close in the top positions, it is going to be a good fight. I am even a little bit surprised of my best lap time, because my tyres were quite consumed and I wasn’t very happy of the brakes that we changed earlier on.”
