"The conditions were normal, I would say. This morning, we didn't want to use the right tyre, the medium. Everybody was on the soft and the hard to save tyres. For me, this afternoon was quite okay. I'm happy to be inside the top 10. It's better to be directly in Q2 on the Friday, because we know how difficult it is to go through Q1 on the Saturday morning. We will continue to work on pace consistency for this weekend. We are working a lot, and hopefully we can make a step."
