LEWIS AFTER FP1 AND FP2 IN MONZA | 30.08.24

“It’s been a good day. Generally felt pretty good. The new tarmac it’s a little bit of a challenge, and all the new kerbs. But, the car felt good from the start – FP1 there was a lot of graining [on tyres] and then we made some good changes over the break and the car was feeling even better in this session [FP2]. Still some work to do on a few things and in in a few areas, I think ultimately for long run so that we can go the distance. I think that’s the challenge at the moment.”

On the hot circumstances

“It was ridiculously roasting in our car. I’m not quite sure exactly, I think down by the radiators there’s probably some leakage of hot air. It was very hot. Like sitting in a sauna with no shorts on. Pain.”
