“We made progress. We started out quite unhappy and then got back to our happy window from Monday by the end, so I think we’re in a good spot for race day. We know what we have. We have a solid race car, did some pit stops at the end and we’re good to go. Really looking forward to Sunday, and I think we’re in a very comfortable, happy window right now.”

“Today was a very similar session to Monday. I felt like we weren’t really comfortable in the beginning, but as it went on, we got more and more comfortable. We were closer to what the No. 5 and 17 cars were running by the middle of the session and it just turned our day completely around. We made some subtle changes that just turned everything upside down, and it’s really the first time we drove with these practical conditions. Not knowing what the car needed, we were a little bit on the back foot there. It’s always good to finish the last practice session on a better hand going into to the race. At the moment, I think we, we feel pretty good.”
