Carlos Sainz:
"The car felt okay today, despite its limitations. We used both sessions to do a number of interesting tests to help with setup over the weekend. All three tyre compounds worked well for us, with minor difference between them. We'll continue refining our setup and reviewing the data ahead of qualifying tomorrow."

Alex Albon:
"A short day for me, but it was an okay Friday in the end. We don't have the pace yet, but the car feels like we're moving in a more positive direction. Luke did a good job in FP1 to test some items around the floor, so the car feels like it is in a decent place. I don't think there will be many changes overnight. Given my grid penalty for Sunday, our focus shifts tomorrow to long runs to get ready for hopefully an interesting race."

Luke Browning:
"It was great to be back out in FP1 for the second time this season. I've got some fond memories of this circuit from F2 - winning the feature race and taking pole position here. Today's main job was giving the team feedback and testing some setup options for Alex, which went well and should put him and the team in a good place for the rest of the weekend. As always, I'm very grateful to the team for the opportunity to get back out there in the FW48."
