| "Not a good drive. I am just hesitating and I didn't have confidence - I am afraid of the car and I am not getting the best out of it. The brake pedal is too soft so we will do some bleeding and see what happens." | ||||||

| "It was okay but I think I was hesitating a little bit and playing too much with the gears, so that's where I lost some time. In the back of your head when one car is out you know you can not afford a mistake. We just need to keep a rhythm and focus on our job." | ||||||

| "It's very slippery with the sand and on one of the left-handers I ran wide on the entry and I don't know what I hit! It's just some cosmetic damage. The first stage was a bit slow but then we were improving the speed. The afternoon started well but then we were losing our performance a little bit towards the end of the day." | ||||||
