“We rolled off really strong. I’m definitely happy with where we’re at in terms of speed. Obviously, we still have more work to do to be more consistent, but it’s been a very good day for us.”

“I’m a bit frustrated and surprised to be up there on the charts. This is one of those moments where we need to take our time this afternoon and tomorrow morning and make it better for tomorrow. I don’t know if we missed something or got it completely wrong, but we will investigate that.”

“We rolled off strong and then made some changes that didn’t work. It’s difficult to miss out on some potential learnings for our only run on Firestone Alternate tires ahead of Qualifying, but I’m confident that we’ll get back to a proper window and have a good day tomorrow.”
