Friday’s test action: “We’re approaching this as a bit of a test opportunity,” said Carlos Sainz, “because with six days of running in two weeks, it’s going to give us the opportunity to back-to-back a lot of data and we always have next week to correct the bad direction.

“But at same time we still want to optimize every weekend. We’re still fighting for P3 in the championship and we said right from the beginning that it’s going to be a mid to long-term issue to solve, not one race and we’re back… with the front tires.”

Charles Leclerc took P10 in FP1, before slipping to P13 in FP2 saying he was targeting an improvement in his 1-lap pace ahead of Saturday, while adding that he was keen not to repeat the “bad surprise” of Ferrari’s Paul Ricard race day performance this weekend.

We’ve been struggling quite a bit today with short-run pace,” said Mr. Leclerc. “The high-fuel runs were actually quite competitive compared to the others but we need to work on our Quali pace, which is normally the other way around since the beginning of the season.

“I think we’re know more or less where to work for improving the Quali pace so hopefully we’ll put everything together tomorrow for a better qualifying,” added Mr. Leclerc.

But it’s going to be difficult, because we’re not completely sure we’re in right window for Sunday’s race. In France we felt quite happy on Friday, but on Sunday we had a bad surprise, so it is very tricky at the moment.

But we’re working hard, and I feel like we’re in better shape for the race on Sunday. We need to work a little bit on the Quali pace and then we’ll be fine.”
