“I am not comfortable in the car,” said Perez to Skysports. “Track conditions were good and the track was improving as we went through. It will be interesting to see what happens overnight but most importantly from our side, we just have to find a bit of fine-tuning.”

“To have these issues where I am not comfortable with the car,” Perez continued his analysis of Friday’s sessions.”

It will be alright

Perez is still hopeful for the rest of the weekend, he claims that the car got a lot of pace, and can harm his opposition on the straights. A positive outlook ahead of the qualifying.
