Friday running builds Sepang understanding.

Audi Revolut F1® Team completes 103 laps across FP1 and FP2 as Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto gather data in hot conditions.

 
Audi Revolut F1® Team completed its first Friday at Sepang International Circuit, with Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto gathering data across two practice sessions in hot conditions. Audi Revolut F1® Team returned to action at Sepang on Friday, completing 103 laps across FP1 and FP2. With the circuit back on the Formula 1® calendar after a long absence, both sessions gave the Team an opportunity to build its understanding of the track and refine the Audi R26 for the rest of the weekend. With Friday running complete, the team will now work through the data from both sessions ahead of Saturday. The focus is on improving the balance and finding additional grip before FP3 and Qualifying.

"Coming back to Sepang after so many years (...)

Nico Hulkenberg

"(...) meant there was plenty to learn again, and the heat definitely added another challenge. We worked through the programme and gathered a lot of information, but there are still a few areas we need to understand a bit better. We'll go through everything overnight and see where we can find a bit more grip and balance."

“It was an interesting day (...)

Gabriel Bortoleto

(...) and thankfully the issue we had at the end of FP2 didn’t cost us time. We had a few items to test going from FP1 to FP2, and, overall, we can be quite satisfied with our work. There are still some areas where we can improve, so we’ll work through the data tonight and try to make a few steps forward for tomorrow. But overall, it was a good day and a positive start to the weekend.”
