Tag 01 – Die ersten Ergebnisse aus Spielberg.

Audi Revolut F1® Team absolvierte einen produktiven Freitag beim Großen Preis von Österreich.

Audi Revolut F1® Team absolvierte einen produktiven Freitag beim Großen Preis von Österreich. Bei hochsommerlichen Bedingungen und Lufttemperaturen von deutlich über 30 Grad lag der Fokus darauf, das neue Update-Paket zu evaluieren und das Verhalten des Audi R26 sowie der Reifen unter den hohen Temperaturen besser zu verstehen.

Nico Hülkenberg und Paul Aron, der im Rahmen des FP1-Programms für Nachwuchsfahrer den Audi R26 von Gabriel Bortoleto übernahm, absolvierten ihr Programm ohne grössere Unterbrechungen. Am Nachmittag kehrte Gabriel Bortoleto ins Cockpit zurück. Anschliessend setzte Audi Revolut F1® Team das geplante Freitagsprogramm mit beiden Rennwagen fort. Beide Fahrer sammelten dabei wichtige Kilometer und lieferten wertvolle Daten für die weitere Arbeit am Set-up.

Da auch an den kommenden Tagen mit sonnigen und heissen Bedingungen gerechnet wird, bilden die Erkenntnisse aus dem Freitag eine wichtige Grundlage für das Qualifying. Audi Revolut F1® Team richtet den Blick nun auf den Kampf um einen Platz in den Top Ten.

Nico Hülkenberg

“It was a straightforward Friday with no major issues."

Nico Hülkenberg

"We worked through the planned programme, learning more about the tyres, the car balance and the usual areas we focus on during practice. Overall, it has been a solid day, and we will analyse everything overnight ahead of tomorrow."

“Today was also my first experience with the new update package. It is always difficult to make direct comparisons from one circuit to another, but the initial feeling was positive."

Nico Hülkenberg

"We have gathered some useful information and now the focus is on understanding the data further and making some progress overnight.”

"It was a decent session for me."

Gabriel Bortoleto

"The feeling in the car seemed positive: obviously, having sat out FP1 meant I had to adapt to things pretty quickly, but I think looked okay overall. We are bringing some upgrades this weekend and it looks like they’re doing their job, but it’s still early for a final verdict: we'll have a clearer picture tomorrow once we've had time to analyse all the data gathered from today.

Gabriel Bortoleto

“The margins are really tight, so it will be all about finding the right balance, putting together a clean lap, and feeling confident with the car. If we can do that, I think we can be competitive in qualifying."

Paul Aron

"It was great to be back in an F1 car and, as always, it's a real pleasure to drive these machines."

Paul Aron

"I enjoyed my previous FP1 outing in Barcelona, so I was looking forward to getting back behind the wheel here, even though we knew the conditions would be challenging with the high temperatures. Overall, the session went well, and we completed the planned programme. I was happy with the pace on the medium tyre, while we weren’t able to put in a representative soft tyre lap in our first run..."

Paul Aron

"... due to an issue and didn't have enough time for another attempt due to the red flag. But that's part of running a busy Friday programme. The most important thing is that we completed all the test items and gathered good data. I'm grateful to everyone at Audi Revolut F1 Team and Alpine for this opportunity and I wish the team the best for the remainder of the weekend."
