AI GeneratedLando discusses his struggles during the session, primarily focusing on severe braking issues that caused the car to pull to one side. Despite a disappointing result due to a lack of slipstream and poor pit lane positioning, he remains optimistic about the car's pace, citing Oscar's strong performance as a sign of potential for the following day.
Lando, when I heard that you weren't too happy with the brakes at early doors, I didn't want to be you right then because you had Corley to go through.
Just how tough was it? Can you tell me how hard it was to get the car stopped and get in control of it?
Yeah, I mean, that part of it's tough. It's the track where you have probably the biggest braking zone, especially into Turn 1.
And the brakes were just horrible today, so I don't know if we can fix it for tomorrow or not.
But just a horrible feeling that as soon as I brake, the car pulls massively to one direction.
Yeah, just not a good issue, not an issue that we should be having, honestly.
But otherwise, I don't think it was too bad of a day. Of course, the result doesn't look great, and that's a fair one.
But my lap was not that bad. It's just I was second, and without a slipstream, without a straight-line deficiency, it's just hard to put something good together.
So no complaints, just a bit unfortunate with the positioning of where we are in the pit lane, and everyone kind of waits for us.
We have to go first in a way, and we pay the price for that a little bit. But in any case, we're going to try and have some fun tomorrow.
Yeah, because if you can get the brakes sorted right, it seems so close between you guys out there.
There's still a lot of potential, isn't there, to get something tomorrow?
Yeah, I mean, Oscar showed the pace. It's not bad. I think he's done a very, very good job. His lap was very strong.
And he was just in a good position as well. You know, the slipstream, he was just behind me.
So he just had one more car to kind of have a slipstream, and it's almost too tense that you're getting straight away.
So we'll see. We're not in a bad position. I wouldn't say we're certainly not favourites for tomorrow, but we'll see what we can do.
