After the Qatar GP, the reporter asked Kimi, “We heard you had trouble with the word. Has it restricted your race? ”The former world champion was quick to respond with a sarcastic comment:“ I didn’t hear anything. You know more than I do I think the car was pretty much like yesterday. “
However, Auto Motor und Racing reported a tense situation after the damage after the training session. Two sub-floors have already broken in Interlagos.

It takes 20 days to produce a floor, ”said Beat Zehnder, as reported by Auto Motor und Racing.
