It’s been a positive day for Liam Lawson in Friday practice for the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. Sixth in FP1 and 10th in FP2 with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls teammate Isack Hadjar eighth and ninth quickest.
“It’s been a positive day and a good start to the weekend,” commented Lawson. “We’ve got a strong base to build on, but obviously tomorrow afternoon is what really counts. We’ll keep working on improving the car.
“Everybody’s chasing it and I think we were all a bit further away at the start of FP1 because of the new front wing, however we’ll still be chasing the balance. I could definitely feel the difference in the car and we’re in a good place right now, but obviously we’ll be expecting every team to improve.”
“A very straight forward Friday for us, the main topic of course, was assessing the new front wing, which looks to be working as expected, compared to our wind tunnel and simulation numbers,” said Racing Director Alan Permane.
“Both drivers were quite happy with the cars from the first runs but were lacking some front end in the Medium speed corners. There were some changes made between the sessions to improve the balance, and we think we have identified a few areas where we can tidy things up even further for tomorrow. The long run pace looked decent and we’re in a good shape for the final practice session.”
