Nico Hulkenberg (12th): “Today was a typical Friday. We had a problem in the afternoon with a hydraulic leak, but we still managed quite a few laps and covered everything that we wanted to test. We will see where we are tomorrow.”
Rubens Barrichello (17th): “I had a busy day. The car didn’t really perform that well so we need to search the data tonight to see what we can find for qualifying.”
Sam Michael, Technical Director: “We evaluated a couple of aero parts in the morning, which we continued with in the afternoon. With Rubens’ car, we spent some time working on car set-up, and we still have quite a lot of work to do before tomorrow. Nico made good progress today, but he lost the majority of the second session due to a hydraulic leak. The problem is fully understood and resolved.”
