McLaren F1 Hungarian Grand Prix practices – Happy with that we’ve learned

We progressed through our programme well, without issues, and are happy with what we’ve learned”

LANDO NORRIS, #4
 FP1     1m18.649s (+1.094s)      26 laps      9th
 FP2      1m18.313s (+1.301s)      25 laps      9th

“Today wasn’t too bad – obviously very hot which made things a bit tricky. It’s not just warm inside the car but the car itself, especially the tyres – the tarmac is hot and that can change a lot of things with the car and how it feels too.

It doesn’t make things too easy with the temperatures, but we’ll try to make sure we do a better job with that tomorrow and make improvements overnight. But I think we’re there or thereabouts, so we’ll see if we can gain a little bit for tomorrow.”

DANIEL RICCIARDO, #3
 FP1     1m19.265s (+1.710s)      27 laps      14th
 FP2      1m18.737s (+1.725s)      26 laps      13th

“It was a pretty tricky day. The track conditions were really hot, so I think that made it more difficult. Even if you’re fastest today it’s probably not going to feel great because the cars and the tyres aren’t optimised for these sorts of conditions.


McLaren F1 Hungarian Grand Prix practices – Happy with that we’ve learned

It was hard to get a good feel from the car this morning, in terms of balance. But it was better this afternoon, even though we’ve still got work to do before tomorrow. We’ll try to chip away, make another step or two overnight and then be in a good place tomorrow.”
