  • The Ferrari race driver worked with the Medium and the Soft tyres in Free Practice 2, while in the morning session he combined the Hard compound and the Soft one.

QUOTES:
“Today in Miami was, as expected, an intense Friday with high temperatures and a lot of running. The tarmac is very different to last year so it was important to get a good feeling of the new conditions. We completed the whole program, we tried all three compounds and we’ve got plenty of data for tonight"
