We’ve had a difficult start to the weekend with not as much running as we had hoped for. Accordingly, we have now revised the running plan going into P3. We did improve the set-up between sessions one and two with some aero development and mechanical adjustments on the cars. Rubens Barrichello
I had limited running today which was unfortunate. In this morning’s session, a puncture cut my session short and then an off this afternoon also put me out early. The car felt quite loose before the incident and so we have a lot of things to look into now.
Pastor Maldonado
An engine problem caused me to stop early in P2. It’s my first time at Suzuka so I really need some more laps. We’ll have our work cut out in tomorrow’s final session.
