Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix Practices – Red Bull Racing and Driver Reactions, see the latest here!
10th June 2016 – Canadian Grand Prix, Friday Practice
Daniel Ricciardo
First Practice Session – Best Time: 1:16.734 – Position 11
Second Practice Session – Best Time: 1:15.168 – Position 5
“Obviously it’s nice to be driving again for sure, it’s a nice circuit and I enjoy it here! I think the day was ok, we can still find some more speed so we’ll be working hard tonight to hopefully find some good solutions which can put us towards the top four tomorrow and close to Ferrari.”
“Mercedes look strong today and their long run pace was probably more impressive than their short run pace so that’s where I think we need to improve. Our long runs can be better for both me and Max, so that’s what we’ll look at tonight.”
“On Sunday, the weather looks like it could change so we will wait and see as it will affect things. I expect the gap to Lewis to be less than a second tomorrow, how much less I’m not sure but I think we can close the gap quite a lot from today.”
Max Verstappen
First Practice Session – Best Time: 1:15.553 – Position 4
Second Practice Session – Best Time: 1:15.156 – Position 4
“Not a bad first day at the track, it’s a good day, good weather. I’m more or less happy with the balance we have now and it’s down to fine tuning little bits and getting some lap time out of that.”
“It’s always very challenging here and there’s a bit of a go kart feel so I always enjoy it. The first feeling with the new engine is very positive, you’re always happy when you get more power and we understood the car setup and engine which felt good and that’s important.”
“Looking at tomorrow, in qualifying you always want to softest tyres so we’ll put them on but Sunday, there’s a chance of rain so we will have to wait and see what to do!”
Make sure you keep checking back – we have lots to come this weekend ahead of the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix! 🙂
