Karun Chandhok (23rd): “The practice sessions were useful for us as we did some long runs. It is positive that we did that many laps today, which was our objective for this weekend.”
Bruno Senna (24th): “We were ready straight away when the first session started and that was a good feeling. We managed all programmes, we had no mechanical problem. It is good to have the first 100 per cent reliable day and I’m happy about that. I’m looking forward to practice three tomorrow ahead of a good qualifying.”
Dr Colin Kolles: “Both sessions were productive and ran as smooth as possible for both Karun and Bruno who could cover all the planned testing programme while driving most laps ever in their practice history. Technically everything worked well and this is very positive for the team to be running through a normal driving programme with a crew that worked very hard to make all of this happen. Now, we need to go beyond and improve driveability of the car.”
