Kamui Kobayashi: “I’m quite happy. We achieved a very good mileage today. The set up changes we did in the morning meant an improvement in lap times, which, of course, is very positive. There is still a lot of work to do in terms of understanding the car and the different tire compounds at different fuel levels, but we are working in the right direction. I think it was a good test for us."
