So Max, you were looking pretty quick out there, but we heard your radio message
unacceptable about the gear shifts. I mean, how do you sum up that day, the feeling in the car?
I mean, pretty decent I think for us. The balance is straight away there,
just fine-tuning a little bit with the car, which hopefully unlocks a little bit more pace. But
honestly, I think from what we have as a package, it's been a good day.
You've reverted on the rear wing, taking off the Macarena rear wing. Can you tell us a little bit
more about that? Did it really change things? And what's the outlook
for the rest of the weekend, early signs from the competition?
Yeah, it just opens differently. We'll see. I mean, we just focus on ourselves. And honestly,
I cannot be disappointed or whatever. I mean, it's been a good day for us.
I'm not sure how much more there is in there compared to the others. But for me,
feeling-wise, it's been all right. I mean, second practice, you see a little bit more
the real gap is probably. But hopefully, we can eke out of that a little bit towards qualifying.
