First laps at Madring

Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto gather valuable data on their first day of running at the new circuit.

Learning on new ground.

"There was a lot to learn and plenty to explore, and it's definitely a unique track. It's incredibly fast, almost like a rollercoaster, with very little room for error, so it keeps you on your toes all the way around. We gathered plenty of information, and now it's about going through everything overnight, understanding what we've learned and seeing how we can use that to improve further."

"It’s been great to finally get a first feeling of the Madring."

Gabriel Bortoleto

"Overall, it’s been a positive day for us: we learned a lot throughout the two sessions, although there is still some work to do overnight to try and extract some extra pace from our car. That will be our main task tomorrow – we’ll keep working, and I am looking forward to it."
