Sam Boyle Team Manager:
The track appeared to be at its fastest in the opening part of the first session, when there was coating of F1 rubber that offered more grip. As that wore off, lap times became a little bit slower. Mario did a good job and is well placed to repeat the podium finish he scored in Brazil. Rob remains on a steep learning curve and continued his education today. Given that he has so little racing experience, he still amazes us with his speed.

The circuit feels very different from the way it was when we tested here pre-season. The balance was all right in the first session but not perfect. In the second session we improved the balance and adjusted the set-up to make the tyres last longer. The main thing here is to get a good start, because overtaking at this track is not easy once the races settles down.
