We tried to get Fernando a lap of clean air to beat Michael in the pits and it didn’t quite work.

If you feel that you can get through a season with 10 sets of parts, but you make 20 just in case, that’s wasteful – but if you make 12, that’s a small insurance policy.

Were it not for the third cars, the Friday session would just be dire.

Fernando looks a little further back on the grid than normal. However, we have managed our weekend with our main challengers in mind, and we feel that we have done the right thing to get...
