Alonso: "When Jenson had the problem and we had a difficult day [yesterday], then maybe I was a little more pessimistic, but today finally showed to all of us, to the team, to the guys, to the factory in England and Japan, that we are heading in the right direction. The potential of the car is there, with limitations or not, the car feels good and quick."

Avantajul Mercedes desi au incercat sa il ascunda este inca urias. Am urmarit foarte atent ziua de azi, iar stirea zilei nu sunt timpii lui Ricciardo si Raikkonen, pe softuri, ci faptul ca Hamilton cu pneuri medii si cu soarele aproape de apus, temperatura pistei scazand dupa ora 17:00 , Hamilton a fost la doar +349 de Ricciardo si la 339 de Raikkonen. Andrew Benson a scris pe contul lui de twitter ca diferenta intre soft si medium este de o secunda, daca luam in considerare si temperatura mai scazuta a pistei si faptul ca a stat cu 5 tururi mai mult ca Riccioardo, avem din nou acea secunda jumate intre Mercedes si restul. Ai mei, fac progrese, au mers cu motorul intr-o setare foarte precauta pentru a nu ceda componenta de ieri. Potential exista. Mclaren construieste... un imperiu....

Yasuhisa Arai: "Tomorrow or Sunday we'll change some aero and engine settings to recover top speed & then we'll compare (with other teams)"

De pe Sky live timing: Honda’s Head of Motorsport Yasuhisa Arai says the firm have already finalised their power unit design, despite still having a week available to develop it ahead of the homologation deadline: “I know that the homologation is in one week, but have already fixed the design,” he said 54 laps for McLaren today and racing director Eric Boullier says the team have managed to exceed their planned test schedule as they finally get some mileage on the MP4-30: “It is good to finally put some laps on the board and get the programme back over the boundary – we have actually done more things today then we were expecting. So we are catching up on our programme. “I am happy with what we are doing, we are not looking for performance as we have a long list of system checks. Our aero plan has been done today in full and we have been doing some set up work on the car for the first to understand how the car is reacting and so far so good.”

Andrew Benson raspunde pe twitter unor fani Mclaren, si le spune ca el crede ca Mclaren a rulat azi toata ziua cu MGU-K deactivat, adica aproximatix 160 hp in minus fatza de normal. Wow.
