• Carlos Sainz completed a promising Thursday despite two red flags in the second practice session, both due to issues with the sealing of a manhole cover around the track.
• The position of the Williams race driver in the standings does not reflect his true potential, as it can be explained by the different interruptions, that happened right when he was about to go for a fast lap on Soft tyres.
• The Spanish race driver is feeling good about the set-up and the tyres of his FW47, and he is confident he can take another step forward in tomorrow’s Qualifying session.

QUOTES:
“Unfortunately, the issues in FP2 took away valuable time for everyone, especially for those who went out late like myself. Other than that, today looked promising. The balance of the car feels good, and the tyres feel okay, maybe too close to the limit but I think we’re on the right path. The forecast is looking like rain overnight but clear for when we’re on track, so we’ll keep working to fine tune the setup for when it matters.”
