Paul Hembery: “This was one of the most important free practice sessions of the year for the teams, and the number of people encountering problems showed just how tough it was. Singapore is an extremely demanding track, so it was vital for the teams to assess the correct set-up, particularly on full fuel tanks, as this is a circuit that is particularly heavy on fuel consumption.
“Naturally, a heavy car works its tyres harder, but despite this factor and the warm conditions, we’ve been very pleased with the performance and durability of both our P Zero compounds. We’ve seen a difference of about a second per lap between the two compounds but with all the teams trying out different fuel loads, it’s hard to get an exact picture until we’ve examined all the data.”
