Good news from today's practice sessions. Nico came 4th in the first practice and 1st in the second. I hope this translates to a strong race pace too. He's done incredibly well in the practice sessions so far this season, and reasonably well in qualifying, but the races have been disappointing after his times earlier in the weekend. Here's hoping that this weekend goes better!
From Friday practice - selected team and driver quotes:
Nico Rosberg, P1 - 1:34.227, 4th; P2 - 1:33.339, 1st
"You can only ever compare your performance to other race weekends so, relatively, I think we are looking ok. We've done a lot of set-up work today and I am quite happy with everything so we've made good progress. The team brought some new parts to Bahrain and they seem to be working well so thanks to our aero guys for their continuing hard work in developing the car. I am really convinced that we will be able to do something positive at this race and to get the points that the car is worth."
